Crimson-Accented Faceted Black Glaze Tea Bowl
Tomoo Hamada (b. 1967)
This tea bowl features a deep black glaze across a subtly faceted surface. The exterior is decorated with bold red brush marks, each applied with dynamic, gestural strokes. These red forms appear at regular intervals around the bowl, creating a balanced yet expressive rhythm.
The rim is gently rounded, and the overall form has a softly organic contour. The interior and foot are fully glazed in a consistent black tone, giving the piece a sense of visual unity. When viewed from different angles, the light reflects variably across its surface, highlighting the interplay between glaze and form.
Signed by the artist on the base, the bowl presents a quiet yet striking presence, characteristic of Hamada’s individual approach.
