This tenmoku chawan (matcha bowl) has a deep rust-red glaze with metallic spots.

The term 'tenmoku' (天目) can refer to two things: the shape of a bowl (i.e. conical with a finger groove and flare at the lip) and a dark high-iron glaze that can produce various beautiful effects under the right firing conditions. Both of these originated in Jian ware from Fujian during the Song dynasty (960-1279) in China, where the dark colour of the glaze was praised for the way it contrasts nicely with the froth of whisked tea.

This chawan comes in its kiribako (桐箱 - wooden paulownia box)

12.6cm (5in) - width
7.4cm (2.9in) - height
