There are many black Oribe tea bowls, but there are very few tea bowls of this type with green glaze on red ground. This is the so-called Oribe ware often seen in tableware, etc., but because of its particularly vivid red color, some people call this type of ware “red Oribe”.
It is a slightly shallow shallow Kutsu Tea Bowl with a ladder-shaped mouth, and the base is small and round, and it seems that the base of this kind of Tea Bowl is often cut out in the same way. The base is reddish clay with two wheels on one side of the body and a round and square design on the other side, with white painting added to the iron painting line drawing, and a thin feldspar glaze is applied to the inner surface and outer waist, and a green vitriol glaze is randomly applied around the mouth. The gallanite is partially applied in a weeping pattern, and the white and black painting on the red ground and the green glaze on the rim are the richest in color among the Mino tea bowls. The clay is fine, and a “+” mark is engraved in the center of the base.
The name “Yamaji” is written in gold-painted letters on the front of the black tame-nuri box lid.
