Source Description
This teabowl, for use in <em>chanoyu</em>, is a good example of Yohei III’s mastery of the techniques involved in producing Kyoto ware. The painting of the pinks, with their blue centers, bright red petals, and green leaves, is carefully controlled with crisp gold borders throughout. There is crackling in the transparent glaze and obvious, thick dripping of the milky glaze over the outside of the mouth of the bowl. The pink spots would have appeared in the clay during firing, and the bottom of the inside of the bowl is entirely pink. A triangular wedge has been cut away from the foot, and a gently impressed band rings the bowl beneath the rim.
