A Seto Chawan [Tea Bowl]
Momoyama/Edo Period (17th Century)
Of characteristic form, the sides steeply angled down to a narrow waist above a short footring, the grey brown stoneware covered in a crackled creamy glaze that stops just above the foot in most places, the sides with a simple iron-brown design of flying birds and grasses
