Shino small bowl with landscape design

Shino small bowl with landscape design

Height 6.7 cm, mouth diameter 11.9 cm, bottom diameter 7.3 cm
 This bowl is now used as a small bowl, but may have been made as a large mukozuke. It is a flat, four-way corner small bowl with a goze-bottom style bottom that is rounded in the center and shallowly ground, clearly leaving a ring-shaped tochigaki mark. We have seen several small bowls of this type, but none are as brilliantly made as this one.
 The four sides of the body are decorated with a design of mountains, paths, and cypress fences with trees, and the mountains and paths appear dark and light through the softly melted white glaze, creating an incomparably elegant pattern. The mountains and paths are elegant. The other side is lightly painted, but a faint reddish hue appears on the bottom and the edge of the mouth.
