Sutble Shino Chawan, quite a bit different in feel than the last two. Restful...I think.

Thanks,
Michael

The glaze on this chawan was an experiment. I used one of my basic shino type glazes and added about 20% ponderosa pine ash. The final glaze finish is soft with depth. Nice hand feel.

Thank you,
Michael

I haven't mentioned this, but I love the little platter you have been displaying the chawan with. Any chance one or two of those are available? Also, today's offering is stunning. It even looks soft.

This piece just came out of the kiln today along with several others. They were fired in my small kiln pictured in the post above this one.

This Chawan is glazed with Tenmoku and Nuka.

Chip,
Thanks for looking at the other images...yes, the contrast is nice. I will start taking images with matcha, I think this would look great already to go.

Thanks again,
Michael
