Dark blue tabi chawan

This blue glazed terracotta bowl with “hare’s fur” texture was made in France by an artisan potter.

The red clay is coated with a high-gloss glaze.

This is a tabi bowl: a small bowl for travelling.

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

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

It measures 8 cm in diameter and 4 cm in height, and is truly unique.
