Tea Bowl

ca. 1580-1610 (Joseon dynasty (1392–1910)) Diam: 5 1/2 in. (13.9 cm) Citation Source image

This tea bowl was made in Korea for the Japanese market. Its characteristic rough and rustic form and surface epitomizes the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, an appreciation of the imperfect, the impermanent, and the incomplete.
