Document source description
The glaze pattern on this tea bowl consists of black and gray striations that resemble rabbit or hare fur. The dark hues of tea bowls such as this example were considered among the best colors for complementing the light yellow-green color of powdered tea that had been whisked into foam. Wares produced at the Jian kilns in Fujian province were used exclusively for drinking tea, an indication of tea’s popularity in China at this time.
