Thousands of white Shino glaze fragments have separated and lifted during the wood firing, arranging themselves across the exterior in a dense, almost concentric pattern — like fish scales, tortoiseshell, or river stones laid side by side. Between each white island, a fine web of iron-brown traces the boundaries, precise and endlessly varied. It is a cup that rewards long looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze \u0026amp; Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e The exterior is dominated by a densely crawled white Shino glaze that covers nearly the entire surface in a tight, interlocking mosaic. Each white fragment is slightly raised, smooth at its centre, and separated from its neighbours by a fine tracery of warm iron-brown — the underlying clay showing through wherever the glaze contracted and pulled away during firing. The pattern is remarkably even across the upper two-thirds of the cup, gradually softening toward the foot where the glaze thins and the natural clay colour re-emerges. The rim is ringed in a deep iron-black band, where the glaze pooled and darkened from the kiln's heat. The interior carries a quiet blue-grey crawled glaze — larger, looser cells that open like cracked earth or ice, lit from within by a cool, still light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm \u0026amp; Feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow, round chawan form — full-bellied and deeply satisfying to hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGently inward-curving rim — draws the tea and the attention inward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e325g weight — substantial, balanced, grounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth, rounded exterior texture beneath the crawled glaze — comfortable in both hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall, unglazed foot ring — raw stoneware, dark and honest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor the Art of Tea:\u003c\/strong\u003e The round chawan form sits naturally in cupped hands, making it ideal for slow, meditative tea practice.
