Harvest Earth Chawan

Warm amber-gold covers this chawan with a richness that calls to mind late-season fields or sun-dried clay. Dark patches drift across the surface where the iron has concentrated during firing, but the overall tone is warm rather than dark — this is one of the few pieces in the collection that reads as unmistakably golden.

The form is wide and generous, with a broad interior suited to casual, comfortable whisking. A chasen rests naturally inside in the photograph, completing the image of a bowl that was made to be used regularly and unhurriedly.
