This is anagama fired teabowl, chawan. Chawan bowls are nothing like symmetrical Western bowls: they are often asymmetrical, and sometimes even \u201cveiled\u201d with an upper lip in motion. We can rotate them, discovering that each side expresses something different. More an object of contemplation than a utilitarian container, a chawan, dedicated to the tea ceremony in Japan, must be in keeping with the season and the practitioner\u2019s feelings. This is why there exist many styles, shapes and aesthetic aspects. Anagama wood kiln firing provides these bowls with a superb and rare patina that gives them their unique character.
\nThrown on the wheel, out of the German clay. Woodfired in anagama for 5 days. Bowl features a dramatic array of colors and textures- from semi-gloss to ash-speckled matte gray and brown. Excellent sample of angama reduction effects that creates rugged surface.
