Vintage Japanese Textural Chawan, Tea Bowl - Earthy Ash Glaze Yukata The light wood finish highlightsA vintage Japanese sculptural tea bowl crafted from coarse, mineral rich clay. During the intense heat of wood firing, feldspar granules expanded and burst through the clay walls, creating a dense ishihaze (stone explosion) texture across both the exterior and interior surfaces, guiding the eye down to a thick pool of natural wood ash glaze (biidoro) at the bottom.
