💎 Rarity & Retail Value

• Rarity Factor:Because handleless tea bowls were actively used at tea tables and washed together in basins without protective handles, they suffered an incredibly high mortality rate. Finding a single intact example is excellent; finding a matching pair with absolutely no structural cracks or rim chips is highly uncommon.
