| This very attractive bowl is a red Raku chawan: a tea bowl made for the Japanese tea ceremony. The subtly nuanced shades of red with hints of greens and the delicate lightness of its design are expressions of its ephemerality and make it a true descendant of the great Raku vessels, which were once called Ima-yaki, literally now-ware. The chawan bears the marks of a potter named Tanyan, who is not really known except for the fact that he must have worked at a kiln near the Saidai temple in Nara. A newspaper clip inside the box is dated from 1950. It relates an annual event at the Saidai temple, where women drink tea from giant tea bowls. This particular chawan seems to be inspired by these, and probably dates from the same time as the clip. The bowl is in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed wooden box. Dimensions: 12 cm x 8 cm (4.8 in x 3.2 in); weight 280 g (9.8 oz) More pictures available on demand Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question. | |||||||||||||||
