Description

An impressive example of Japanese craftsmanship, this chawan made of Seto ware, signed by Cho Sojo, combines traditional aesthetics with masterful technique. The deep, glossy glaze in warm red tones is complemented by subtle black accents, lending the piece a dynamic yet timeless elegance. The irregular shape of the chawan reflects the wabi-sabi philosophy and invites one to appreciate the beauty of imperfection.

The bowl is delivered in a signed wooden box, which both underscores its authenticity and provides safe storage. This exceptional work of art is not only a practical vessel for the tea ceremony, but also a decorative highlight that enriches your collection.

For connoisseurs and lovers of Japanese ceramics, this chawan is an indispensable piece that impressively represents the centuries-old tradition of Seto ware and the artistic legacy of Cho Sojo. Perfect as a gift or for your own tea culture – this piece brings the essence of Japanese craftsmanship into your home.
