7-inch petal-shaped bowl

This 7-sun rin-ka (petaled) plate is by Kazuhiro Mori, who follows in the footsteps of his father, a man who has dedicated his life to large-kiln firing, and who himself aspires to recreate the powerful beauty of old Bizen ware through this same technique. This is a new style of rin-ka plate, where the flower shape is expressed through the flowing, curved indentations created by plaster mold forming. The chocolate-colored surface is crafted through fine ash deposits produced by the massive kiln characteristic of the Mori family. The rapid, lightning-like hidasuki (fire-cord) markings look magnificent against the beautiful, circular, compass-drawn unglazed area. No box
Diameter 21.3cm x 20.8cm x Height 4.7cm
