Ceramics 1 -- Sen no Rikyu Teacup


This is a simple teacup inspired by a 16th century Japanese teabowl called "Kogan". It was the kind of teabowl that Sen no Rikyu, the great master of the tea ceremony recommended. I used the same glaze and a similar design to Kogan. Here are the details:

Project: Sen no Rikyu teacup
Method: Wheel thrown
Clay: Recycled
Glaze: Shino with red iron oxide design of grasses
