Like a curtain from the five lobed rim of this exquisitely formed Chawan by legendary artist Koie Ryoji enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Beikoku-te (American Style) Hikidashi-guro Chawan. Thick pale grey covers the perfect white with splashes and dripping black glaze. This is a superlative work by the artist, and one I am very proud to be able to offer.
