Teabowl by Sashu Kintaro: A black ceramic teabowl with a rounded body and short foot. The bowl is glossy and has a wide mouth. It appears to have been fired in a kiln, with subtle variations in color and texture on its surface. The interior and exterior of the bowl are both dark in color. There are visible striations and marks from the crafting process on the exterior. The overall shape is symmetrical, with a slight curvature from the foot to the rim.
