Born in 1935, Oketani Teiichi graduated from Kyoto Fushimi Industrial High School's Ceramic Department in 1955 and honed his craft under his father, the original Teiichi, eventually succeeding him as the second generation. This set features a captivating Tenmoku tea bowl, whose allure lies in its jet-black glaze, a silent depth that accentuates the verdant hues of the tea. Its surface bears a spontaneous pattern resembling scattered oil droplets, a rare phenomenon resulting from chemical reactions at high kiln temperatures, giving it its evocative name. Complementing it is a Kyoto White Tenmoku tea bowl, whose defining characteristic is the purity of its white porcelain. Achieved through multiple layers of glaze, it manifests an ethereal depth, pure yet profound. The body is also finely purified to a whitened clay, culminating in a translucent porcelain finish. Both bowls are signed on the bottom, a testament to their authenticity and craftsmanship. Dimensions: approx.
