Dark brown chawan

This Japanese stoneware bowl, glazed in a brownish-beige hue, was meticulously handcrafted in Kyoto by a potter.

It showcases the ido-gata shape: this style originates from Korean bowls of the Joseon dynasty. It was adopted and adapted in Japan, becoming a classic of the chawan.

It is remarkably thin and lightweight, showcasing the potter’s expertise.

Broken, I restored it using traditional Japanese lacquer, known as Urushi, and 24-carat gold.

You can use this bowl to drink your favorite tea, or simply keep it as an object to admire.

It measures 12 cm in diameter and 5 cm in height, and it is truly unique.
