This Jian ware hare's fur tenmoku tea bowl from the Song dynasty is an exceptional piece that holds a highly significant place in the history of Chinese tea wares. Hare's fur tenmoku is characterized by its distinctive glaze pattern, where fine streaks of flowing glaze radiate outward over a black-glazed surface, creating a delicate texture reminiscent of a hare’s fur, from which its name is derived. The interior (mikomi) of this piece features a deep black glaze pooling at the center, forming a lustrous mottled pattern that enhances its visual appeal. The streaks of hare’s fur gracefully extend from the mikomi, demonstrating a superb fusion of glaze flow and firing technique, which is a hallmark of Song dynasty Jian ware tenmoku. The exterior glaze thins towards the bottom, revealing a warm, earthy brown hue created by natural kiln effects, lending a pleasant tactile quality to the piece. The rim is smoothly rounded, maintaining excellent condition with minimal signs of wear. The unglazed foot exhibits the raw clay texture and subtle kiln transformations, adding to its historical charm. Overall, the bowl boasts an elegant form, remarkable glaze coloration, and a striking hare’s fur pattern, offering a true appreciation of Song dynasty tenmoku aesthetics. This tea bowl is a highly valuable piece for collectors and tea enthusiasts alike, serving both as an exquisite display item and a functional tea utensil.
