{"product_id":"hagi-chawan-brushed-white-slip-kiri-kodai-cut-foot-named-box","title":"Hagi Chawan — Brushed White Slip, Kiri-Kōdai Cut Foot, Named Box","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Hagi ware tea bowl (chawan) is covered in a soft translucent glaze over bands of brushed white slip, giving a palette of lavender, rose and cream. Inside, the slip follows the throwing rings in a continuous spiral that draws the eye down to the well; outside, it wraps the body in loose horizontal bands. A fine crackle (kannyū) runs through the glaze. In Hagi ware this crackle slowly absorbs tea over years of use, gradually changing the bowl's colour, a quality known as \"Hagi no nanabake\" (the seven transformations of Hagi).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHagi ware began in the early 17th century in present-day Yamaguchi, when Korean potters brought to Japan after Hideyoshi's invasions established kilns under the Mōri clan. Its gentle, unassuming character made it a favourite of tea practitioners, captured in the saying \"first Raku, second Hagi, third Karatsu.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe form is a wide, flaring bowl on a tall foot, recalling the Korean Ido bowls that Hagi potters inherited. The foot is left partly unglazed, showing the warm orange, gritty clay, and carries a single notch cut through the ring (kiri-kōdai), one of Hagi's best-known signatures. An impressed seal sits beside the cut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Origin: Japan, Hagi ware (Yamaguchi); seal not yet identified\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Form: Flaring Ido-style chawan on a tall foot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Glaze: Translucent glaze over brushed white slip, lavender-pink tones, fine crackle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Foot: Tall, partly unglazed orange clay, kiri-kōdai notch, impressed seal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Box: Paper-covered box with floral and water pattern, label bearing a poetic name (mei)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Condition: Good secondhand condition — please see photos for any marks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Dimensions: (Diam.) approx. 14cm x (H) approx. 7.5cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsuchi Ceramic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60024144986496,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/6037\/7984\/files\/322797FD-2145-4AC3-A79E-8A1A5D44C718.jpg?v=1790881206","url":"https:\/\/tsuchi-ceramic.com\/products\/hagi-chawan-brushed-white-slip-kiri-kodai-cut-foot-named-box","provider":"Tsuchi Ceramic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
