A beautiful Hagi-yaki 萩焼 chawan (茶碗) for preparing and enjoying matcha, presented in wooden tomobako (共箱).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl has a softly rounded, slightly irregular form with the warm, tactile character for which Hagi ware is especially admired. Its surface is covered in a gentle milky-white glaze, enriched by naturally developing blush-pink, peach and warm beige tones from the firing. Soft circular markings and areas where the glaze pools or thins create an organic, almost cloud-like landscape across the surface, ensuring that no two areas of the bowl look exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exposed reddish clay around the foot provides a beautiful contrast with the pale glaze. The foot also features a deliberate notch or cut, a characteristic detail often associated with Hagi tea ware and commonly described as wari-kōdai (割高台). Together with the slightly uneven rim and natural firing variations, this gives the bowl a strong handmade presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHagi-yaki (萩焼) originates from Hagi in Yamaguchi Prefecture and has been closely connected with Japanese tea culture for centuries. Its restrained decoration, soft glazes and porous clay body are particularly suited to the aesthetic of wabi-sabi (侘寂)—the appreciation of simplicity, irregularity, natural materials and beauty that develops through time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHagi ware is also celebrated for Hagi no nanabake (萩の七化け), the “seven transformations of Hagi.” Through continued use, tea can gradually penetrate the fine crazing and porous body of the vessel, subtly deepening its colour and character. This natural ageing process has traditionally been considered one of the special pleasures of owning and using Hagi pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 12.5 x 12.5 x 8cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58547993280843,"sku":"TC147","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_fdb55ef3-edc0-411b-81fc-e4daa90c91e8.jpg?v=1789981154","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/tc147-hagi-yaki-chawan-matcha-bowl-%e8%90%a9%e7%84%bc","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
