Ceremonial Tea Bowls
I
was honored in 2003. A
collector of my work gifted
one of my tea bowls to the Japanese Emperor on the occasion of his birthday.
The
Japanese tea ceremony is a transcendent art form that
blends culture, taste,
hospitality, respect, tradition, and discipline
with a sense of Zen.
The Japanese style ceremonial tea bowl is the vessel that is
honored to hold
the tea during the ceremony.
The
true beauty of a great tea bowl is a balance of many things that,
when done
well, seem so simple and yet so wonderful.
The
classic dark warmth of a Temmoku glaze
has been a favorite of serious
tea connoisseurs
throughout the centuries.

on request
The raku
white-crackle glaze is also another favorite for tea lovers.
