This transparent-glazed Japanese stoneware chawan was handcrafted in Japan by a master potter.
Simply glazed, the color of the clay is apparent.
The bowl has a wa-nari shape and a rounded profile.
The potter’s signature is engraved on the outer base of the foot.
This one is wa-kodai shaped: it is simply composed of a circle.
You’ll receive it in a wooden box called a tomobako. It is created at the same time as the ceramic, and its description is inscribed on the lid. Chawan in their original tomobako are the most sought-after.
Accidentally 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 10 cm in height, and is completely unique.
