《牡蠣》茶碗 “Oyster” Tea bowl is the signature piece of Harry Lee. By analyzing the growing tectonics of Oyster shells, the artist channeled life energy of oyster into the clay, and gave it a hyper-realistic presence with his glaze painting technique. From barnacles to the skeleton of coral worms, 《牡蠣》茶碗 “Oyster” Tea bowl is a micro-landscape summoned in the form of a tea bowl.
