This elegant Kyo-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) has a fun spin on a classic shape with a subtly flattened front and faceted bottom. Atop the red clay, this chawan has a matte black glaze, decorated with hand-painted shidarezakura (枝垂れ桜 - weeping cherry blossoms) on the face and on the inside.

Each bowl is thrown, glazed, and hand-painted by Murakami Iku (村上郁) of Fukuiku Kiln (馥郁窯). With over 45 years of experience, Murakami-san creates his wares in Sumiyama, a mountainous pottery village on the outskirts of Kyoto.

Please note that due to the organic nature of hand-throwing, glazing, and painting, there are subtle variations between pieces, with each bowl being slightly unique in shape and design.

12cm (4.7in) - width
