This is a "Hare’s Fur Tenmoku" tea bowl from the Song Dynasty, a piece that stands out for its exceptional beauty and historical value. "Hare’s Fur Tenmoku" is characterized by the fine, elongated streaks that appear on the surface of the black glaze, resembling the fur of a hare, which gives it its name. These streaks are naturally formed during firing as the components of the glaze react to the unique conditions in the kiln, creating a one-of-a-kind pattern that cannot be replicated.
The interior of the bowl features a deep, lustrous black glaze, with patterns that converge toward the center, adding depth and visual intrigue. The exterior also displays evenly distributed streaks, showcasing the remarkable firing technique and the refined aesthetic sense of the Song Dynasty. The foot of the bowl is marked with a clear seal, reflecting the characteristics of the kiln where it was crafted.
The bowl is in excellent condition, with no significant chips or cracks, and the signs of use and natural aging enhance its historical authenticity. The beauty of the streaks and the smoothness of the glaze make this tea bowl a particularly fine example of Song Dynasty craftsmanship.
"Hare’s Fur Tenmoku" bowls are prized not only for their practicality as tea utensils but also for their artistic value, making them highly sought after as decorative items and collector's pieces. This tea bowl is a symbolic work of Song Dynasty tea culture and ceramic artistry, captivating viewers across generations with its presence and historical significance. It is a rare and valuable piece, ideal for use in tea ceremonies, as part of a collection, or simply for display to appreciate its timeless beauty.
