The iron gives the clay a reddish-brown body, visible at the base and beneath the natural ash-splash glaze. Typical of the Kondô family's ceramics are the light-colored ash-glaze surfaces, which give the pieces the charm of objects that have spent a long time in the ocean. On this piece, however, the heavy ash-splash glaze also features golden-yellow gradients in places. In addition, there is a light-blue glazed area that creates a striking contrast with the rest of the color gradient. This area was formed by drops of molten ash-splash glaze that fell from the ceiling above the chawan. Some drops also landed inside the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chawan was hand-built, similar to raku. This gave the chawan its soft, uneven curves, making it fit comfortably in the hands. The firing and the ash circulating in the kiln have left a unique \"landscape\" both inside and outside the chawan, so it is worth viewing from different perspectives. The bowl was thrown in the han-tsutsu form and is therefore somewhat lower, but fits very well in the hands. This piece was made by Ms. Sanae Kondô and comes with a hand-signed wooden box (\u003cem\u003etomobako\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hôgetsugama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53272686723401,"sku":"Echizen-Chawan-25-Nov-1","price":360.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9851\/3737\/files\/LP050046.jpg?v=1762501813","url":"https:\/\/japankeramik.de\/en\/products\/echizen-chawan-1","provider":"Japan Keramik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
