Description

Bowl. Small, buff, stoneware bowl, temmoku glazed, covered inside and out with a thick, lustrous, black glaze patterned with five light-brown lines. The small bowl has a roughly tooled, everted mouth rim and flat, recessed footrim. The hare's fur glaze is apparent on the inside and outside. The dark-black glaze runs away from the lip, where it is very thin, and forms a thick roll which stops short of the footrim. The mouth rim is burned dark-brown.
