Ash River Chawan

The glaze on this chawan tells the story of the firing — gray-green ash glaze has flowed down the exterior in curtains, pooling and layering over a dark iron ground. The result is something like a landscape in miniature: rivers of lighter color cutting through the darkness, freezing in mid-motion.

The form is wide and open with a generous interior, the rim slightly irregular in a way that feels entirely natural. The interior shares the same ash-glaze complexity, making this a bowl that rewards slow looking from every angle.
