This Kyo-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) is decorated with elegant purple and white wisteria (藤 - fuji) draped over a crazed beige-ivory glaze. The bowl is made in the classic Ninsei (仁清) shape, with a slight waist or tightening of the torso, accompanied with a slightly inward facing lip.

This chawan was made by Eikō Miyaji (宮地英香), a workshop known for producing affordable and accessible iro-e and seasonal Kyo-yaki chawan, helping spread tea and tea culture.

Kyo-yaki (京焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Kyoto, Japan. The pottery traditions of Kyoto date back to the 5th century and are varied in their styles.

Please note: there is natural variation in the glaze colour. The chawan you receive may have a more saturated beige than pictured.
