About this work
The bowl has slightly more detailed surface designs painted in blue under the glaze than some other Yohei III's other teaware, like the Water Cooler with Pines, CMA 2022.163. The three pines, with two, three, and four racks of boughs respectively, have more angular rather than curved trunks, with clearly articulated bark.
