This chawan has an open, gently flared rim and a raised foot, leaving ample space for whisking while giving the bowl a clear, grounded stance. Its warm brown surface and softly ridged walls bring movement to the tea table.
A chawan is a tea bowl used in Japanese chanoyu, where powdered matcha is whisked directly in the bowl. The form belongs to the wider East Asian tea-bowl tradition and is handled as both a practical vessel and a considered object.
Made in China from wood-fired stoneware, this bowl combines reddish clay tones with smoky grey patches and visible firing variation. The unhurried surface suits close, hands-on use during a tea preparation, followed by gentle rinsing and complete drying.
