 Posted: May 10, 2008 7:10 am Post subject: Glass Summer Chawan |
 |
|
I see today that Artistic Nippon has a glass tea bowl for sale, which is advertised as a Summer Chawan.
It's pricey, but it looks very beautiful, and it's big - almost 6" in diameter. Just thought it was curious, as I've never seen anything like this before. |

| That is gorgeous! I'm guessing the use of glass is more contemporary; do any of you more knowledgeable people know? |

Wow, pretty cool. I'd be down for some iced matcha in a chilled chawan. 
Hah, and I know who bought it! Maybe I'll get him to post some shiny pictures of it in action. |

| It is very attractive but it is also super expencieve, and it`s not some antique, and how do you whisk your tea in such thing? |

Yes, I wondered that too! It's quite shallow.
But I'd still like to see how some high quality matcha looks in it. |

I am fond of the summer (hira) chawan shape, it's serene.

Ok, which one of you guys bought this???
I guess they are lower and wider to allow faster heat loss??? |

Not me! Summer must have come to some other part of the world before it's landed here...  |

Where did you find this one? The glaze is almost identical to one of my raku. |

vessels.jp on Trocadero. There are several high-res closeups.
It is supposedly a work of Raku "Kakunyu (1918-1980), the 14th descendant of the Raku lineage of Kyoto potters," and contains an "attestation by Tantansai, the 14th Urasenke tea master. "
I have seen similar glaze a few items, inlcuding this one. |

I see, it reminded me of this one, but no way are they done by the same guy.
