High-Footed Bowl

Japan

Not on view

A taste for grandeur characteristic of the Momoyama period marks this capacious curved bowl with gracefully flared lip that was used for serving food. Its elegant hight ring foot forms a pedestal that accentuates the bounteous form and also functions to ease handling of such a large piece.
