Type... Pottery... Tea Bowl... Matcha Bowl... Shigaraki ware This is a very valuable item, a work by the brilliant master Sadamitsu Sugimoto, with a "preference" inscription by Taikaku Tachibana. The Hon-madara (natural markings) are beautifully colored. The glaze flow has a dramatic appeal with its undulations. Sadamitsu Sugimoto became a disciple of Taikaku Tachibana, the 511th head priest of Daitoku-ji Temple, and his path in pottery expanded brightly and greatly. This is a tea bowl with a turtle design, in a matching box, with an inscription of his master's preference. "Turtle" is part of the master's name, so this is an item that collectors of Sadamitsu Sugimoto should definitely own. Size: Height approx. 9.7cm, Width approx. 12.3cm. Beautiful condition!!
