This Tenmoku bowl, fired at the Jizhou Kiln in Jiangxi province during the Southern Song Dynasty, captivates the viewer with its commanding presence defined by an elegant silhouette that gently narrows from a deeply recessed rim, a lustrous surface that reveals subtle reddish-brown hues beneath the dark glaze, and a boldly rendered phoenix depicted on the interior, whose vibrant and dynamic lines evoke the expressive quality of an ink painting in vivid contrast with the dark ground; the exterior is covered in a fine sprinkling of iron-rich speckles known as “tea dust glaze,” accompanied by naturally formed glaze runs and white spots that emerge during firing, resulting in a landscape of spontaneous beauty between control and chance, while the precisely trimmed foot exhibits perfect balance, with exposed reddish clay at the edge conveying the warmth of the material and the assured touch of the maker’s hand—altogether, the bowl achieves an exceptional level of refinement both visually and tactilely, embodying the tea aesthetic of “mikomi wo tanoshimu,” the contemplative enjoyment of the bowl’s interior, and stands as a highly significant example where sculptural elegance and symbolic imagery are harmoniously united.
