Setoguro Chawan with fantastic Seto Glaze 1200 $
This is an absolutely rare black Seto chawan ( setoguro chawan ) from the Edo Period.
Blackish-brown glaze amalgamates with a wild and roughly thrown body and a still vivid and strong Seto Glaze. It is very heavy for a tea bowl, 503g. Please note that there is also an interesting kiln mark.
Setoguro yaki is high-fired ware that originated in the late 16th century. Black glaze is achieved by removing the iron-glazed pots from the kiln when they are red-hot (a technique called hikidashi guro).
Size: 9 cm height x 12 cm in diameter.
Great condition - no damages, no cracks except inborn kiln cracks.
Shipping included.

Early Edo Period Ki-Seto Chawan with beautiful shape 1200 $
Half cylinder shaped (Hanzutsu) tea bowl made of light, coarse unrefined Mino clay, with very little and small ishihaze (exploding stones).
The mouth has been trimmed in a fashion frequently seen in black oribe but rarely in yellow seto bowls. The expertly thrown body is covered with the typical ash glaze inside and outside which has turned into yellow, due to a slight iron oxide content in the clay; the thick and glossy glaze (guinomi-de) has a beautiful, fine crazing. The bowl shows no deformation and is decorated with incised grass on two sides - without the usual application of copper oxide - gorgeous.
The Ki-Seto chawan has a beautiful shape and is perfectly balanced.
It comes with a very good older wooden box.
Size: 8,4 cm height x 10,8 in diameter.
Shipping included.
