This tea bowl is an exceptional example from the Jizhou kilns of the Song dynasty (960–1279), showcasing the famed mokuha tenmoku ("leaf temmoku") technique, in which real leaves were placed on the surface before firing, leaving behind detailed impressions beneath the glaze. The result is a breathtaking image of two fossilized leaves suspended in a rich, glossy black glaze, their veins and contours preserved with remarkable clarity. This technique represents a rare marriage of nature and craftsmanship, capturing a fleeting moment in time. The elegant conical form, subtle rim accents, and unglazed foot ring further highlight the refined sensibilities of Song ceramic art. In excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs, this piece not only serves as a treasured tea vessel but also as a prime example of Song dynasty innovation and aesthetic ideals. It is a prized collectible for connoisseurs of Chinese ceramics and tea culture.
