Shino tea bowl, known as “Unohana”

Height 8.3cm, mouth diameter 13.0cm, base diameter 6.0cm
 This is a semi-tubular tea bowl glazed in the same manner as the Shino Tenmoku tea bowl, and is inscribed with the name “Unohana”, which is appropriate for the white glaze color. The mouth rim is gently undulated in the style of a mountain road, slightly warped at the edges, with a strong waist, and the base is low and rounded. The simple, unmarked workmanship gives a sense of antiquity, and it is probably an early Shino tea bowl in the half-tube shape.
