"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.

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.
