This exceptional studio pottery chawan (tea bowl) features a rich, volcanic red glaze with deeply expressive surface texture and form. Entirely hand-thrown, the bowl embraces the wabi-sabi aesthetic — with its subtly irregular rim, flowing glaze transitions, and grounded, tactile presence.

The body is adorned with trailing white glaze lines that evoke abstract calligraphy, windswept landscapes, or rising mist over stone. These markings are not written characters but carefully applied glaze accents, adding rhythm & emotional resonance to the form. Each angle of the bowl reveals new visual gestures, making it an immersive piece to view, hold, and use.

The interior shifts from muted smoky reds to darker charcoals, while the underside is sealed with a red-glazed stamp featuring the Japanese kanji signature 佳旧, which may translate to Beautiful Antiquity — a fitting name for a piece rooted in tradition yet utterly contemporary in its presence.

• Studio pottery tea bowl with hand-thrown stoneware form
• Volcanic red glaze with natural ash texturing
