Product description

Deep green forest, scurrying source of life! The beauty of its own ecosystem was chosen here as the inspiration for this handmade tea bowl. In the background, dense, impenetrable shades of mist stretch through the greenery and do not reveal the view. In the foreground, large green tree giants stand blocking the way! In this scene, man is only a guest and can drink tea. This tea bowl was created precisely for this purpose and refined with the ancient Japanese raku technique. This involves lifting the 1000 degree Celsius ceramics out of the kiln and placing them in beech wood chips. Yellow-hot as the tea bowl (Jap. Chawan) was at this point, it immediately ignited the chips! Now fire, soot and ash did the rest and covered the handmade chawan with a fine black craquelé. This craquelé pattern is also the unmistakable distinguishing mark of raku pottery and makes each piece absolutely unique.

Despite the most careful cleaning, the smell of soot and ash has not yet completely disappeared - the fire does not easily release its children.

The light tea bowl has a wobble-free and stable base. It is not yet 100 % waterproof, which is due to the raku technique. The suspended matter in the tea sinter the few open channels and quickly seal the tea bowl. This tea bowl is not for people who down their tea, it is something for connoisseurs!

The tea bowl weighs approx. 200 g, which is relatively little for a vessel of this size/function. It is about 7.5 cm high and has a diameter of about 8.5 cm at the top. The filling volume is approx. 250 mL.
