EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tea bowl from the Edo period in Kyoto, Japan. Crafted by the skilled hands of Ninsei Nonomura, a renowned ceramic artist who flourished during the mid-17th century, this stoneware masterpiece is truly a sight to behold. The tea bowl features an exquisite reserve design of fans, meticulously painted with enamels over a white glaze. The intricate details and delicate brushwork bring life to each fan motif, creating an enchanting visual experience for the viewer. Measuring at 13.8 cm in diameter, this Omuro ware exemplifies the elegance and refinement that defined Japanese pottery during this era. Its black glaze adds depth and contrast to the overall composition, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Currently housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. , USA, this tea bowl holds immense cultural significance. It was generously gifted to the gallery by Charles Lang Freer as part of his extensive collection. As we admire this timeless piece captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical value. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with ceramics and their ability to transcend time and culture.
