 This tea bowl looks as if it were a “persimmon’s stem”. It has a shallow and straight bowl shape, with the mouth slightly turned inward and the base carved out in a round shape. The entire surface is covered with sesame glaze, and the outside is almost blackish brown, but there is a slight ash on one side of the body. A reddish brocade-colored clay body is visible within the base.
