No cracks, no chips Size Dia. max. 4.5"(11.5cm) x 2.7"(6.8cm) Description of item This is a vintage Handshaped tea bowl of Japanese Hagi Ware, which was made about 80 years ago. This type of tea bowl is called "Oni-Hagi" or "Siro-Hagi (White Hagi)". The signature of the potter is put on the bottom. Hagi Ware is a type of Japanese pottery most identifiable for its humble forms and use of translucent white glaze. It originated in the early 17th century with the introduction of potters brought back from Japanese invasions of Korea. The local daimyo of the time were very interested in tea ceremony and funded production of this ware. Potters mix different types of local clay. The most standard result is a pink-orange color, called Korean clay. Wares are formed on the wheel and decorated with translucent glaze made of feldspar and ash. The signature chip located on the bottom is a local tradition from the Edo period when potters would deliberately mark their wares in order to sell them to merchants instead of presenting them as gifts to the Mori clan.
