Longquan Tea Bowl: Series 2

Description Dimensions How to Use Part of our Song Kiln Collection, this tea bowl is inspired by the celadon ware of the Song Dynasty's Imperial Longquan Kilns. Handcrafted from dark clay and glazed with a gemlike blue-green celadon, this stunning vessel was created by up-and-coming ceramicist, Xu Chun Tian (son of nationally acclaimed Taiwanese ceramics master, Xu De Jia).

Details include a subtle indentation near the base and the artist's stamp on the underside of the bowl.
