Trần Dynasty Ivory and Black Glazed Teabowl
¥60,000 JPYA teabowl crafted from the Lý dynasty to the Trần dynasty in Đại Việt (current northern Vietnam). The piece feutures shallow and small body with ivory glaze on interior and brown glaze on exterior. Four spur marks are visible on the well, and the indented lip reflects the Tenmoku teabowl shape. While Chinese ceramics influence is evident, as seen in much of Vietnamese ceramics, this bowl stands out with its reddish-brown hue, reminiscent of chestnut skin, and an ivory glaze distinguished by a network of fine crackles. The contrasting interior and exterior glazes create a visually striking piece.
A similar example can be found in the catalogue Vietnamese Ceramics: A Separate Tradition (1997). The bowl has some soil staining on the interior, a tiny chip on the rim, and one chip on the footing. Part of the lip shows slight signs of aging, but it otherwise retains a good lustre.
