This tea bowl was made in my small pottery workshop, here in Taiwan. I used local Taiwanese clay and then I placed this bowl in a wood-fired kiln. The kiln was fired for 4 days and then allowed to cool for a week. I believe a tea bowl with asymmetrical features possesses a certain beauty. A beauty in imperfection. I created a wavy and attempted to throw a 'free' bowl that has character. I love making tea bowls because each bowl comes out different. Each has its personality and charm. I hand-carved the foot ring to again show the hand of the maker. Be the owner of a handmade tea bowl, made on the beautiful island of Taiwan. Detailed dimensions: Width: 12cm Height: 8 cm
