One of Five Serving Bowls (Mukozuke) with Prunus Design, 1700s to mid-1800s. School of Ogata Kenzan (Japanese, 1663-1743). Kyoto Ware: stoneware with underglaze iron oxide and slip decoration; overall: 6.9 cm (2 11/16 in.); each side: 9 cm (3 9/16 in.). Note the rough, tan, clay bodies of these bowls with their deliberate irregularities. The design of branches was first painted in a black iron oxide, then the blossoms and buds in a white slip, followed by the application of a very thin transparent overglaze.
