Product description
This chawan strikes before it is even touched. The radical contrast between the glossy black lacquer crowning the bowl and the large, cream-beige stretches emerging from the body like landmasses is of rare visual power. It evokes an abstract world map, a landscape of snow and night, or ink diluting in water. It brings everything to mind, and yet nothing at all, which is precisely the state of mind sought by the tea ceremony.
The Setoguro glaze, one of the most dramatic in the entire Japanese tradition, is achieved through a spectacular technique: the bowl is removed from the kiln while glowing red-hot and rapidly cooled in the open air, which instantly fixes the deep black and creates those irregular boundary effects between the differently glazed areas. Each piece is therefore literally unique, shaped by an irreversible gesture.
The wide, textured foot, covered in brown and rust-colored deposits, anchors the bowl in the earth with total frankness. Only one piece available, a work that resembles no other and will never resemble anything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the black and beige contrast of the Setoguro glaze achieved?
The bowl is taken out of the kiln while hot and cooled abruptly, a traditional technique that produces this dramatic contrast between glossy black and lighter areas.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No, the black glaze is sensitive to chemicals; wash it by hand in clean water, without detergent or abrasive sponge.
How does this bowl show off matcha?
The deep black of the glaze makes the green matcha froth stand out strikingly.
