Tea Bowl with Decoration of Standing Cranes, Edo period (1615–1868), mid- to late 18th century, Japan, Stoneware with inlaid design (Kyoto ware), H. 3 3/4 in. (9.5 cm); Diam. of rim 3 7/8 in. (9.8 cm); Diam. of foot 2 1/4 in. (5.7 cm), Ceramics, Kiyomizu Rokubei I (Japanese, 1737–1799), The design on this vessel can be traced back to the ubiquitous cranes of Goryeo celadon, which have been filtered here through an Edo-period Japanese sensibility. Rokubei's tea bowl is, in fact, a copy of a late seventeenth century Busan-kiln product (export ware made in Korea according to Japanese specifications), and the model he reprised was itself a nod to earlier prototypes (Goryeo period celadon and fifteenth- and sixteenth-century revivalist celadon exported to Japan)
