這件黃天目茶碗是典型的傳承有序，德川美術館藏。南宋中國福建省茶洋窯的作品。這類黃色的天目傳世極為罕見，底部積釉處呈現黑色的圓形茶溜。
【中国・南宋～元時代 13-14世紀】
高6.4 口径10.8 高台径3.0
特殊的亮點有：
釉色特殊，傳世作品中極為罕見；
尺寸較小，深腹的造型也十分罕見；
虹彩絢爛，有數百年的寶光。
值得注意的是，德川美術館收藏的建盞中，也不乏這類尺寸較小的天目茶碗。這類茶碗在茶道中的使用，可以用在茶箱的點茶法中。 南宋饅頭山出土過類似小號的建盞，中國南宋時代的建盞也有較小尺寸的，也許是跟點茶法的不同有關。
This yellow Tenmoku tea bowl is a typical example of a well-preserved tradition, in the collection of the Tokugawa Museum of Art. It was made at the Chayang kiln in Fujian province, China, during the Southern Song dynasty. This yellow-coloured tenmoku is extremely rare, with a black, rounded slip at the bottom where the glaze has built up.
The special highlights are:
The glaze colour is exceptional and extremely rare amongst the surviving works;
The small size and deep belly of the bottle are also very rare;
The iridescent colours clouding over the original glaze is a distinct feature of Heirloom pieces.
It is worth noting that the Tokugawa Museum of Art also has a number of these smaller sized tenmoku tea bowls in its collection of Kensan (建盞). The use of these bowls in the tea ceremony can be related to the tea ceremony of the tea box. A similarly small sized Tenomku bowl was excavated from Mantou Mountain in the Southern Song Dynasty, and smaller sizes of Jian were also found in the Southern Song Dynasty in China, which may be related to a different method of tea making.
黄天目
きてんもく
「唐物黄天目」の現存作例として極めて貴重である。「黄天目」は、『君台観左右帳記』では「灰被（はいかつぎ）に紛るる物」とされ、「灰被」に類するが別種の茶碗と認識されていた。本作品は、名称は「黄天目」であるが、白色系の粗い土は、福建省の窯が想定されている灰被とは異なり、産地も別であると考えられる。
