Tea Bowl

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark blue ceramic tea bowl with a wide mouth, narrow base, and a light brown rim. The exterior exhibits a dark blue glaze with brown undertones. The interior appears to have a lighter glaze with a subtle sheen. The base of the bowl is a light brown color, likely the unglazed clay body. The background is a gradient transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The bowl casts a shadow on the surface below. Tea Bowl by Bernard Leach.
