The teabowl has become an iconic form in contemporary ceramics.
Having travelled from Japan, where it was an inherent part of
chanoyu, or tea ceremony, it has evolved and adapted to become
something very different in the West. Revered for its associations
of its past and its connotations of sophistication and simplicity,
the teabowl enjoys an elevated status. Here, Bonnie Kemske looks at
the form as a whole, considering the history and ideas behind the
original tea ceremony: how it moved into contemporary ceramics, and
the way it is used today. She explores the wide range of teabowls,
from traditional ones to those being made not for the tearoom but
for the gallery, as well as introducing the international potters
making them. The book also tackles some difficult questions,
notably, how has the concept of the teabowl changed as it has been
reinvented in contemporary ceramics? How does it sit in relation to
its history? This book is wide in scope, thorough in detail and
essential reading for anyone involved in making or using these
tactile objects.
