Matsuura Chawan
Matsuura Chawan
Stoneware
Dimensions: 11 x 8.1 cm
This matcha bowl (chawan 茶碗) has a light, highly crackled glaze that appears white and beige in places. The many cracks are a striking feature of the bowl and almost resemble parched earth. This crackle, known in Japanese as kan'nyû, is a characteristic of the wabi-sabi aesthetic. This special piece comes in a signed wooden box (tomobako).
The piece was fired in the Shôunzan kiln (松雲山窯). The kiln's mark is composed of the words "pine", "cloud", and "mountain". The pine is part of the Matsuura family name, the cloud represents the unchangeable course of time and nature, and the mountain finally represents the place where the kiln (noborigama) is located. Father and son specialize in tea ceramics that are intended to warm the heart and bring peace.
Hagi ceramics are fired at high temperatures for a relatively short time, giving them a soft and warm character similar to Raku or low-fired ceramics. Allow to dry for 24 hours after use. Not dishwasher safe, do not clean with dish soap. You can find more about Hagi ceramics in the blog.

Eine wunderschöne Chawan. Mich hat das Craquelée besonders angesprochen und die Farbverläufe zwischen Beige- und Brauntönen, die mit dem Grün des Tees wunderbar harmonieren.
