Description

Stoneware with multiple facets and tenmoku glaze over green ash glaze

Buff stoneware, thrown, facetted, and covered with tenmoku glaze over green ash glaze; the unglazed base has four pad marks. Shallow octagonal plan and form, with sides sloping upwards and outwards from the base and then inwards to the shoulder, which is slightly convex. The tapering cylindrical neck has a projecting horizontal rim. The sides are cut with a half-drop pattern of vertical rectangles, whose edges appear red- brown in contrast to the tenmoku glaze.
