It is a cup that rewards close looking. The closer you get, the more there is to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze \u0026amp; Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e The exterior is covered in a dense field of small, rounded white crawled glaze fragments, separated by fine iron-brown networks that trace between them in organic, branching lines. The scale of the crawled fragments is finer and more even than most cups in this firing — the result is a surface that has a textile-like consistency, almost woven in appearance. At the rim, a thick band of blue-grey lustrous glaze has pooled and set — metallic and smooth against the textured body below, it creates a strong visual and tactile transition that makes the cup immediately distinctive. The interior carries the same crawled glaze extending inward from the rim, white fragments against dark ground, with a similar blue-grey accumulation just inside the lip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm \u0026amp; Feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull, round chawan form — wide-bellied, slightly narrowing at the rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlightly irregular rim — naturally hand-formed, with gentle undulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e250g weight — solid and well-balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly textured exterior — the fine crawled glaze is very satisfying to hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall unglazed foot ring — dark stoneware, neat and stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor the Art of Tea:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wide, round form makes this an excellent everyday chawan — comfortable for matcha, gongfu cha served as a sharing bowl, or any tea you drink slowly. The blue-grey rim glaze is particularly beautiful when the cup is warmed — it deepens in colour as the heat rises.
