Basalt Chawan | Nezumi Shino-style matcha bowl for daily use – Nagoya, Mino

A minoyaki chawan that beautifully represents the wabi-sabi aesthetic. The feldspar shino glaze applied on the iron-glazed base creates a varied grayish-white, thick layer on the darker, brownish-gray surface. The dripping spots and the red dots from iron splashes, visible in places where they burn into the surface, enhance the uniqueness and imperfection of the moment in an ever-changing environment.
Perfect for everyday use, this atmospheric matcha chawan comes from Gifu, the area richest in varied and sophisticated glaze techniques in Japan.
