Moss and River Chawan

Green has run over the edge of this chawan and down its dark body in thick, irregular flows — pooling in low spots, thinning on high ground, behaving the way water does when it finds a path. The ground beneath is a deep purple-brown, and the contrast between the two colors creates something close to a landscape: dark earth, bright moss, the suggestion of water.

The form is wide and rounded, sitting low and stable. The interior is dark and deep. A chawan to hold when you want something that rewards looking at for a long time.
