It was likely crafted for outdoor tea ceremonies (nodate) or for personal travel. Flat bowls are mostly used in summer because their thin walls and wide open top help the hot tea cool down faster. While hand-shaping is typical for Raku ceramics, this bowl shows distinct finger marks from pressing the clay, and you can really feel the artisan's touch in the wavy rim. The surface also features an engraved poem, which, together with the scattered pinholes, creates a deeply poetic and rustic atmosphere.　\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poem reads, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As the dawn moon sinks into the west and the night comes to a close, the mountains cast their shadows over the falling leaves.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e□ Size:  H 2.4in × W5.1in（about H6cm×13cm ）\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e□ Weight : 10.1oz (288g)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e□ Material : ceramic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e□ Boxed : wooden box  ※Only the bowl and box are included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003econdition...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is in very good condition, but there are small scratches and dirt due to aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e🌐 ーーー SHOP POLICIES \u0026amp; SHIPPING DETAILS ーーー\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🌐 For International Buyers (Outside the US): \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard terms apply.
