Title	Hagi-yaki tea bowl
Description	Pottery bowl; 8 cm. high x 16 cm. in diameter. Hagi ware (Hagi-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery most identifiable for its humble forms and use of translucent white glaze. It originated in the early 17th century with the introduction of potters brought back from Japanese invasions of Korea. The local daimyo of the time were very interested in tea ceremony and funded production of this ware. Potters mix different types of local clay to make this ware. The most common result is a pink-orange color, called Korean clay. Bowls are formed on the wheel and decorated with translucent glaze made of feldspar and ash. The signature chip located on the bottom is a local tradition from the Edo period, when potters would deliberately mark their wares in order to sell them to merchants instead of presenting them as gifts to the Mori clan. Hagi-yaki bowls are often used as tea bowls. They are made of very porous clay, and you may notice an earthy smell that comes from the clay and disappears with use. As items are used, tea deposits seep into the glaze and change the color. The box, which holds the Hagi-yaki bowl, is labeled with the words "for tea ceremony" and the town where the bowl was made, "Hagi". The single character is located in the upper right corner of the box. The markings on the back of the lid are the bowl's artist name and chop. The characters in the name have been changed, from the original ancient marks to represent the artist, and are not readable by most native Japanese.
