AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Item Description
This ceramic bowl is an example of Kokuzō-yaki (國造焼), dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It is distinguished by its deep, richly layered black glaze, which shows subtle tonal variations and a quiet depth achieved through traditional kiln firing techniques of the period. The gently rounded form and well-proportioned foot reflect both functionality and refined aesthetics. The piece embodies the wabi-sabi sensibility, valuing subdued beauty, age, and the natural character developed over time.
