- Description
- The elegant figure of this piece begins with a slightly warped lip. The body swells abundantly into a beautiful line. The glaze is gray-brown with a little yellow revealing tiny Kannyu (interpenetrations), and the foot is grand and stable showing a bamboo joint. Slightly above the foot one unglazed semicircle has been left and the deep brown soil shows itself off as if it were a glimpse of autumn scenery.
