Kuro-Oribe Spouted Matcha Bowl - 350ml
This slightly distorted Kuro-Oribe spouted chawan was designed and produced as a collaboration between Tezumi and Hiroshige Katō of Kasen Kiln. Each bowl was hand-thrown and then manually distorted into a delightfully playful gourd shape before being hand-painted with an iron underglaze design which combines geometric patterns with naturalistic scrollwork. After glazing and firing, each bowl was soaked for two days in a solution called tochishibu (栃渋) which is made from horse chestnut caps. The result is a staining effect which softens the white of the glaze, emphasizes the crazing and darkens the exposed clay.
