Iron Dusk Chawan

A strong horizontal visual rhythm defines this chawan: a rich golden-amber band runs along the upper exterior just below the rim, while the body below deepens into a complex mauve-purple-black with heavy, pitted texture. The effect is reminiscent of a landscape at dusk — a bright horizon above, darkness gathering below.

The cylindrical form is upright and direct. The contrast between the glossy upper band and the rougher lower texture gives the piece a layered quality that rewards close examination.
