This is an Oribe ware tea bowl fired in the early to mid-Edo period.
Oribe ware was mainly fired in the Mino kilns during Japan's Edo period by the tea master Furuta Oribe.
The foot widens outwards, the body curves gently, and the rim widens considerably.
The inside has a stepped design, with a circular depression at the bottom that bulges slightly in the center.
This is called a "Kagami(mirror)" in Japan, designed so that the last drop of tea collects there after drinking, and is enjoyed as a decorative feature.
The entire bowl, excluding the foot, is covered in iron glaze, and a lovely flower is painted in white glaze in the center of the body.
Oribe ware that uses different glazes to create patterns in this way is called "kurooribe(black Oribe)."
The iron glaze is a semi-glossy dark brown, and the glaze wrinkles like the skin of a yuzu citrus fruit.
This is a technique used in the Mino kilns that produced Oribe ware, achieved by removing the vessel during firing and rapidly cooling it.
This wrinkled glaze is sometimes likened to snake scales.
The unglazed base reveals the white clay of the Mino region, showcasing its unique, crisp texture with low viscosity.
