Description: Here we have a stunning tea bowl dating to the early to mid-1800s. These were called both tea bowls and waste bowls, their purpose was to hold used tea leaves. During the 1700s and early 1800s tea was an expensive commodity and after tea was brewed, the tea leaves would be saved in tea bowls until the next use. The form is always consistent; they always have flared sides, a recessed base and a molded raised foot. The bowl is decorated with three complex black seaweed designs on a wide coffee color band around the side of the tea bowl. This is a large tea bowl measuring 7” wide by 3 ¾” high. This has a “Y” shaped hairline starting at the rim that doesn’t photograph. This is one of many wonderful pieces of mochaware I am offering that would enhance and be highly prized in any collection.
