White blossoms with yellow centres and scattered falling petals are painted around the walls. The notched tip of each petal identifies the flower as sakura (cherry blossom), and the drifting petals evoke hanafubuki, the \"snowstorm\" of falling blossoms at the end of spring. A single petal continues on the inside wall, linking the exterior design to the interior so that it appears as you drink. The grey ground recalls an overcast spring sky, while the pink interior echoes the colour of the blossoms themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe soft, crackled glazes and painted seasonal decoration are characteristic of Kyoto ware (Kyō-yaki \/ Kiyomizu-yaki). The body is wan-nari (classic bowl shape): a rounded lower body rising to almost straight upper walls, comfortable to hold and well suited to whisking. The foot is trimmed and left unglazed, revealing a warm orange-red clay body with a spiral turning mark inside the footring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Origin: Japan, Kyoto ware style (kiln\/artist unconfirmed, no visible seal)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Form: Wan-nari chawan, rounded body with near-straight upper walls\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Glaze: Charcoal-grey exterior, rose-pink interior, fine allover crackle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Decoration: Sakura blossoms and falling petals in white and yellow beneath the crackled glaze; one petal inside the bowl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Base: Trimmed, unglazed footring showing orange-red clay, spiral turning mark\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Condition: Good secondhand condition.
