This Obori Soma-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) features the classic crazed celadon glaze that this style is known for, accented with a second layer of the glaze, which deepens its blue-green hue.

This chawan was made by Shiryū Kiln (志隆窯) and comes with its original kiribako (桐箱 - wooden paulownia box).

Obori Soma-yaki (大堀相馬焼) is a type of Japanese porcelain produced in the town of Namie in Fukushima Prefecture, and dates back to the early Edo period.

The most distinctive features of Obori-soma ware are its celadon glazes which feature large crazing patterns, hand-painted horse motifs, and double-walled construction. This double-walled technique provides insulation, keeping liquids hot and your hands cool, and is unique to Obori Soma-yaki.
