This is a wonderful Guro (black) Seto chawan from Aichi prefecture in Japan. It measures 2.5" high x 5" wide at the rim. The condition is very good. I would reckon the age between 20-40 years.

It has a lustrous black glaze, tenmoku, of which you can see some oil spots in the interior. A powerful swirled design sets off the interior of this bowl. It is set on a footed base with an impressed artist's signature. $25 + shipping. http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/458415/1/Seto?h=80bce8

very cool looking..tempting..i was looking at one similar but it was 1200 years old and in a museum

I have changed the listing to also include the possibility of swapping this chawan for another piece or pieces of teaware. I'm open to anything Japanese/Korean styled made by anyone, anywhere, anytime!
