Chawan

This chawan (tea bowl) measures 12 cm wide and 10 cm high and was wood-fired for four days, allowing flame, ash, and atmosphere to shape the surface naturally. The bowl reveals streaks of copper red flowing through the glaze, with small crystalline formations that developed during the long firing. Subtle variations in color and texture reflect the movement of fire in the kiln, giving the piece a quiet depth and individuality. Comfortable in the hands and grounded in the spirit of the tea ceremony, this bowl embraces the beauty of unpredictability created through the wood-firing process.
