  3. Toki,

    This bowl exhibits the shape and colour characteristics of a beautiful Jung Ho (Edo or Ido) chawan. The foot of this bowl is so interesting, wild, natural, and free. Although it deviates slightly from the typical flowering white glazed look, it is quite stunning in its own way. It is quite common for older bowls to have such a foot.

    Again, thanks for sharing.

    Peace
