Sasaki Shoraku Black Raku Flat Tea Bowl in the Shape of a Shoe, Tea Ceremony Utensil

This is a Black Raku tea bowl crafted by Shoraku. There is a seal on the side of the foot. The diameter is approximately 14.7 cm, and the height is about 6.5 cm, making it a low and wide flat tea bowl in the shape of a shoe. It features a deep black glaze as the base tone, partially covered with a thick white glaze. As it is a handmade item, the shape and size may have slight variations. The depth of the glaze, the scenery, and the distortion are unique charms characteristic of Raku ware.
