This red Raku tea bowl is attributed to Tan'nyū, the 10th head of the prestigious Raku family (1795–1854), a name synonymous with Japanese tea ceramics. It features a softly hand-molded form and striking contrasts of red and black created through kiln-induced transformations, embodying the warmth and earthy strength unique to red Raku ware. The natural glaze pooling and scorching create spontaneous, evocative landscapes that leave a lasting impression and evoke the aesthetics of wabi-sabi. The slightly irregular rim imparts a natural rhythm to both the grip and the drinking experience, achieving a refined balance between practicality and artistic expression.
