a finger-grooved rim. It is covered with a thick black glaze finely streaked with iridescent
‘silver hare’s fur’ markings with kintsugi gold repair, stopping irregularly above the foot
exposing the dark brown body.

Compare the current bowl to a slightly larger example with kintsugi repair in the
collection of the Metropolitan Museum, New York (accession no. 25.60.32).
