This Da Qing Daoguang Nian Zhi tea bowl is a fine example of Tang-style ware, distinguished by its elegant form and the distinctive tetsusabi (iron-rust) glaze that gives it a rich, metallic sheen. Tetsusabi glaze is created by firing an iron-rich glaze at high temperatures, resulting in deep brown hues with a subtle metallic luster, a characteristic beautifully exemplified in this piece. The glaze is evenly applied across the surface, with remarkable fluidity and depth of color, enhanced by the natural patina that has developed over time. The rim is carefully finished with a soft, rounded edge, lending the bowl a refined and serene aesthetic. The body has a gentle curvature, offering a balanced and stable form while maintaining a sense of lightness, making it comfortable to hold. The foot is finely carved, and its slightly lower center of gravity ensures excellent stability, adding to the bowl’s practicality. The mikomi (interior) displays natural wear from years of use, creating a fascinating patina that complements the overall aesthetic. Tea bowls with iron glaze evolve with time, developing a unique character through use, making them highly valued both for tea ceremonies and as collectible art pieces. This exceptional tea bowl, rich in history and aesthetic depth, offers a profound appreciation of Karamono (Tang-style tea ware), making it a prized addition for collectors and tea practitioners alike.
