Shino-yaki (志野焼) - Tea bowl - Clay - yuzuhada (柚子肌)

An impressive and expressive Japanese ceramic matcha tea bowl featuring characteristics of Shino-yaki pottery. The bowl is coated with a thick feldspar glaze that has created a fine pin-hole texture (often referred to as "orange peel" or yuzuhada (柚子肌) in traditional Japanese ceramics), contrasted beautifully against iron-rich reddish-brown fire markings (hiiro).
The form is sturdy and well-balanced, sitting on a broad, hand-carved foot ring (kodai) that reveals the raw, light-colored clay body. Near the foot ring, a potter’s mark (seal/signature) is incised into the clay.
