Description: | The glaze used on the outside of this pot is called 'tenmoku'. Iron contained in the glaze gives it this rich black-brown colour. 'Tenmoku' is the Japanese word for a type of tea bowl originating in Zen Buddhist monasteries situated in the T'ien Mu (Tenmoku) Mountains, where the tea ceremony was first practised. The cooler grey glaze of the interior balances the richness of the tenmoku. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East craft makers ceramics other cultures contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
