Pottery: Kenzan (Studio)
Footed pinkish stoneware tea bowl, thrown and turned. Crackled clear base glaze. Decorated with cherry trees and blossom in white, black and blue. Many areas of white glaze are missing, presumably due to mismatch of glaze and body. Some of these are dirty, others clean, suggesting glaze loss at different times.
