The Ryūda name is inscribed in a vivid red color with red spots, reminiscent of the autumn leaves of Ryūda.
This bowl is also known as a famous piece from the Kyoto Yagura family, and its robust craftsmanship and exquisite red color with a subtle blue undertone are truly remarkable. The wheel marks are well defined, and the body has a single indentation at the center, with a strong bamboo joint and a rhythmic, dynamic form.The rim is impressively defined by two distinct lines, and the vibrant blue hues within the red create a striking contrast, while the scattered red spots add a touch of elegance. The rim has about ten points. The red spots on the outer surface are also striking, and the high foot is sharply defined, with beautiful creases resembling crepe paper.
