This tea bowl is a piece that exudes unique beauty and a sense of historical charm. The deep, glossy black glaze on its surface features patterns reminiscent of red flames, giving the impression of a blazing fire captured within the vessel. Although the shape of the bowl is somewhat irregular, it achieves an exquisite balance that fits comfortably in the hand. The slight undulation of the rim conveys the warmth of handmade craftsmanship, allowing one to imagine the movements of the artist's hand with each use.

tamamizu pottery
The third generation of Tamamizu ware, Nindosai, was known by the name Yahei and also by the art name Katoku. His father was the first generation Yahei, Ichigen (died in 1723), and his brother was the second generation Yahei, Ikku (died in 1720). He took over after his brother passed away at an early age. Like his father and brother, he produced tea bowls in the styles of Chojiro and Koetsu.
As the eighth generation of Raku ware potters, Nindosai was proud of his lineage, but he remained unmarried and childless throughout his life, causing the Tamamizu ware bloodline that started with Chojiro to come to an end. The kiln was inherited by Tamamizu Rakuo (who died in 1769), a disciple from his father’s generation.
