Tea Bowl: Jian ware

Cleveland Museum of Art

The bowl is round and has a wide mouth with a small foot. The color is dark brown with a reddish tint. It appears to have a rough, speckled texture. The bowl is asymmetrical, with the left and right sides bulging out slightly and the base appearing to be slightly off-center. The background is dark gray to black, with a lighter gray surface that the bowl sits on. A shadow is cast to the right of the bowl. The title of the piece is "Tea Bowl: Jian ware".
