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 monasteris situated in the T'ien Mu (Tenmoku) Mountains, where the tea ceremony was first practiced. The cooler grey glaze of the interior balances the richness of the tenmoku. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1960 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Bernard Leach | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
