The decoration uses gold accents, which shimmer and sparkle beautifully in the light. The motif is a bamboo grove, painted using the iro-e (colored enamel) technique, and it is a work by Ikkou Ueyama, a master of Kyo-yaki (Kyoto-style pottery). Diameter: Approximately 12.2 cm Height: Approximately 7.9 cm Used a few times as the main tea bowl for tea ceremonies. My photography skills are not the best, but the colors change depending on the light and viewing angle.
