- Description
A collector's set of five tea bowls. The bowls are thrown on the potter's wheel with rhythmic ring-shaped grooves on the body and covered with a dense ash-cream glaze with authentic dark iron inclusions (“freckles”) that appeared during firing. One of the bowls retains the kiln's original gold label-certificate.
- Marks
The unglazed base of each piece bears a clear, deep impression of the mark: “Chikara” (力).
