I bought this beautiful chawan last year in Japan but unfortunately it remained unused (I simply own to many tea bowls
) ..I think I could find here a new owner who will eventually start drinking some matcha with it.
The tea bowl is new and in perfect aesthetic conditions.
The Nishiyama kiln is a Kyoto based studio founded during the Meiji period, specialized in firing raku potteries, mainly tea utensils.
This chawan in particular have a beautiful and fascinating glaze's color palette, mainly composed of the classic red and black/dark grey hues, but enriched by a rare white tonality above them and sapiently distributed.
This chawan is comfortable to hold in the hand and use.
The chawan is shipped with its original wooden box and cloth; the original price paid for it was of 22.000 Yen.
The asking price is of 120 € EMS included (the parcel will be shipped from Japan, where I currently reside).
