 This bowl is considered to be a Ishikkac Tea Bowl because of the Ishikkaca, but it is still a tea bowl made by Oku-Koryo hand. It is wheel-thrown in the shape of a spacious bowl, and the base is cut out in the shape of a broad base. It is a rare tea bowl of Oku-Korai hand. The glaze is also interesting and varied, showing a weeping pattern around the hem, and is one of the outstanding examples among Karatsu teacups.
