White slip lopes and wavers and splashes over this slightly trumpeting chawan by master of that genre Koie Ryoji enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Hikidashi no Chawan. Innovative as always, the application of glaze has been performed in several layers and styles, giving the bowl a unique appearance which sets it apart from others. Not outlandish like many of his works, it is highly suitable to the quiet reservation and aesthetic of the tea room, yet retains his distinctive flavor, much like the maccha tea it is meant to hold.
