Very much in a Koetsu rounded form, this is a fine Kuro-Raku (Black Raku) chawan by Egawa Setsusai(1902-1979). More about Egawa with a photo of the potter in other Egawa listings. He was a Tea potter and this chawan was exhibited at a Mitsukoshi exhibit about thirty years ago; the number 31 is still on the base, the white square seen in the photos. It's never been used. The flash brought out the iron in the glaze but in person it is very black. Small pinholes are also highlighted but are not so ... Click for details

There are a number of bursts on the outside of the bowl caused by inclusions in the clay expanding during firing. Iraho are a chawan style brought by Korean potters to Japan during Hideyoshi Toy...

I've often thought of the good fortune I've had to encounter good works of Japanese ceramic art---they are visual and/or hand held poems that inspire and teach me; they provide tranquil beauty amidst the hustle of each day; they transcend time. The list, of course, goes on. I take it as a big responsibility to offer works that represent the beauty and depth of true Japanese culture---not meant for export. It is more than a transaction--it is a giving-sharing-connection. I thought of all this as ... Click for details
