This cylindrical shaped tea bowl by Kai Tsujimura has a warm, reddish-orange surface that is rather consistent throughout the form. The bright flashing of fire in the kiln created a dark surface decoration on the side of the piece, like a shadow. The smooth consistency of the clay body reveals itself as the surface contains a subtle metallic sheen.
