Exhibition Label: Asian Gallery, Spring 2003, Youmi Efurd The essence of the tea ceremony is sharing the bowl of tea. The bowl is generous in size and requires the use of both hands to securely hold it and bring it to the lips. Bowls for the warm seasons of the year have large mouths that allow the tea to cool quickly. The winter tea bowl is deeper and thicker-bodied to preserve warmth.
