This is a wonderful grey buncheong teabowl and like others in this collection is one of my favorite bowls.  It reminds me of summer fog on a misty day. 

     Thrown on a moderated wheel, it is stable and strong.  According to ancient Korean aesthetics, it is one of the perfect colors for tea.  The bowl follows a combination of Korean and Japanese teabowl aesthetic principals.  It both fits the hand and pleases the eye.

     The color comes from the use of one of Korea’s buncheong decorating processes.   A classic semi transparent and “dry” feldspathic glaze was used.  The kiln reduction was also modified producing unusual motteling on the clay body.  This is another very rare piece.
