{"product_id":"matcha-bowl-vintage-seiji-chawan-stamped-floral-band","title":"Matcha Bowl - Seiji Chawan - Floral Band Celadon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA compact bowl thrown in the rounded \u003cem\u003ewan-nari\u003c\/em\u003e (椀形) profile, the wall rising from a small, crisply cut ring foot and turning out a little at the lip. The throwing rings, \u003cem\u003erokurome\u003c\/em\u003e (轆轤目), are left standing on the outside, and the glaze thins across each ridge so the iron in the clay warms it to tan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the rim runs a band of small stamped flowers, pressed into the clay while it was still soft. The technique is \u003cem\u003einka\u003c\/em\u003e (印花), originally adapted from Korean celadon. The pattern is not painted, so is visible only where the glaze settles more deeply into each impression and turns a shade milkier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze is a soft green-grey, \u003cem\u003eseiji\u003c\/em\u003e (青磁), glossy and finely crazed, pooling in the throwing lines and drawing thin over the lip, where it leaves a fine russet edge. The foot is left bare and shows the clay itself, a dark chocolate brown, wheel-trimmed and slightly undercut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top diameter of 12cm makes it ideal for \u003cem\u003eusucha\u003c\/em\u003e (thin tea) and a personal small ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eseiji\u003c\/em\u003e chawan, celadon with a stamped floral band, \u003cem\u003einka,\u003c\/em\u003e impressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft green-grey celadon, glossy and finely crazed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoot:\u003c\/strong\u003e unglazed, dark chocolate-brown clay, wheel-trimmed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 12 cm across the mouth, 7.4 cm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e vintage, unused, from long-term storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied with:\u003c\/strong\u003e a WAZA \u003cem\u003esarashi\u003c\/em\u003e cloth and vintage cardboard box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiln unidentified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WAZA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742560452923,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1138\/0968\/files\/P9191211_waza.jpg?v=1790236520","url":"https:\/\/www.wazashop.co.za\/products\/matcha-bowl-vintage-seiji-chawan-stamped-floral-band","provider":"WAZA Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
