I discovered it during the 2023 ceramics trip when I was visiting with the tour group. This bowl is one of Mr. Kawasaki's masterpieces and differs slightly in style. The glaze is a bit lighter, which is due to a slightly shorter firing time. First, this bowl was crafted with great care and has a very, very soft shape with natural curves. The tactile feel is equally impressive when you hold the bowl in your hands. Naturally, this bowl is also delivered in a hand-signed wooden box (\u003cem\u003etomobako\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\"\u003eTypical of raku is hand-building without a potter's wheel. As a result, the chawan has slight irregularities and undulations that give it a unique appearance. What makes raku special is the interplay of delicate curves and a tactile feel typical of low-fired ceramics. This gives the chawan an incredibly soft texture and makes it comfortable to hold in your hands. Another special feature of low-fired ceramics is that the clay body has heat-insulating properties. This means that the chawan feels less hot on the outside than high-fired ceramics or porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttention! Raku ceramics must air out for about two days after use. During this time, the vessel should not be placed in a closed box or wooden box, as this can cause a musty odor. Low-fired ceramics absorb a little water and therefore need to dry out for a longer period. Do not clean with dishwashing liquid and do not put in the dishwasher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warakugama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51098483917129,"sku":"Waraku-Meisterstück","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9851\/3737\/files\/LP100217.jpg?v=1730922019","url":"https:\/\/japankeramik.de\/en\/products\/raku-chawan-meisterstuck","provider":"Japan Keramik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
