Takeshi Kawase is the second son of Takeharu II, a ceramic artist specializing in overglaze enamel porcelain and white porcelain. This white porcelain teacup appears to be a detached piece from a set of tea bowls. The color is a warm, creamy white, which I believe is the result of his research on Song Dynasty white porcelain. The fine crackle is magnificent. There is a carved "Takeshi" mark on the side of the foot. Width: Approximately 12.2cm x Height: Approximately 5.7cm Please purchase if you understand that this is a used item. Please note that recycled packing materials may be used.
