Vintage Raku Pottery Bowl Handcrafted in Japan Signed by Artist T Pons

This vintage Raku pottery bowl is a unique piece that was handcrafted in Japan. Raku pottery is made in Japan, particularly in Kyoto, where the Raku family of potters has been making the ceramics since the 16th century. The Raku family's lineage can be traced back to Sen no Rikyū, a famous tea master. Raku pottery is a type of glazed earthenware that is hand-molded rather than thrown on a potter's wheel. The clay is rough and unpretentious, and the vessels are typically wide and straight-sided with a narrow base. Raku pottery is highly esteemed in the Japanese tea ceremony and is known for its close collaboration between the potter and the patron. This bowl measures 2 1/2" x 4" x 4" Signed by Artist T Pons or T Pools or could be a couple other letters, not sure. see pic.
