Katutarou Kikuchi/Robert Lawarre methods inspired teabowls today. The one with the untrimmed foot is a big one. Nozarashi (野晒し）design etched into the bottom. A skull and bones in a field of grass. I thought it went well with the cracking on the underside of the bowl. Nozarashi is an interesting motif in Japanese art. It is often seen on sword guards. Basically, no matter what you do, this is how youll end up, is essentially the meaning. I believe it is a Japanese version of this: “To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Lifes but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.” --Macbeth
