Ogawa Machiko makes chawan in very sensual rounded forms, some gray and rough on the outside and silver-glazed inside. Others are her pure Hagi-like white glaze, while others, like the one shown here, is a stone-embedded Shigaraki clay with a feldspar crackled glaze. In the photos here you'll see all three styles. The first one we're showing though is the latter style. The subtle color changes on the body are due to the varying thickness of the glaze. The contrast of glaze and clay on the outside is riveting, while the abbreviated kodai-foot even shows a Koie-like carefree control. In perfect condition with a signed box, 8.8cm.tallx14.2x13. More about this important ceramic artist in our archives or at e-yakimono.net. Previews of the other two chawan gladly sent on request.
