Description
A glazed ceramic tea bowl (chawan) by Japanese American artist Toshiko Takaezu (American, 1922 - 2011). The hand-built bowl is covered with a striking matte glaze in mustard yellow with inclusion of mottled matrix of burnt orange and iron brown and even unexpected specks of blue.

The bowl is a from a private collection in Hawaii.
The artist's work was heavily influenced by the Japanese ceramic tradition and aesthetics.
