Japanese tea-bowl

On the treasures one can find on the Facebook page of the British Museum. This one, shared a few days ago, caught my attention. It is a te-bowl from Japan and it dates back to the 17th century. More information about it here. Not only is it beautiful, but it shows how refined and civilised tea drinking can be. As long as you drink it during a proper ritual, in a carefully designed bowl, not a common mug. And not a drop of milk in it.
