Buzen-bo-yaki, a "Leaf Pattern Tea Bowl" by Kunio Kanda. This piece is made using a very difficult technique where real leaves are beautifully fired onto the bottom, creating the leaf pattern. While leaf-patterned tea bowls using ceramic leaf decals are common, this tea bowl uses genuine leaves. It is said that only a few people in Japan can beautifully fire real leaves using this technique, making this a rare tea bowl. - This tea bowl was used for admiring the leaf pattern and is therefore unused. - Inner diameter approximately 11.5 cm, height approximately 8 cm - Comes with a wooden box and a descriptive card. Thank you for looking.
