Black Glazed Teabowl
A conical stoneware teabowl with a dark, opaque glaze that shifts to blue-green and rust where it thins near the rim, and an exposed buff foot ring. The bowl sits centered on a pale surface against a gradient backdrop, showing its tapered profile and glaze streaks clearly.
Look closer: Iridescent oil-spot-like flecks in the glaze near the rim catch the light.
