Subject:Would like to identify this Chawan...
Posted By: Kristian Markley Tue, Aug 30, 2016 IP: 73.149.21.29

Was told it came from a Japanese antique shop and was labeled as "TENMOKU CHAWAN (TEA BOWL) SATSUMA WARE, DEEP BLACK, JAPAN". Can you tell me anything more about it? (source ebay, USA) Tenmoku simply means black, though it has deep blue drips on the outside. I take "Satsuma Ware" to be questionable...

adding measurements - about 4.5" across the top and about 3" high. Thanks for looking in!

yeah - a very nice chawan though, and a nice glaze...

it also adds a taste to the Matcha that I don't particularly care for, even after many soakings, so am retiring it after less than a week of use...
