Irises Kyō-yaki Chawan

This Kyo-yaki chawan (matcha bowl) is decorated with purple and white irises (菖蒲 - ayame) draped over a crazed beige-ivory glaze. The bowl is made in the classic Ninsei (仁清) shape, with a slight waist or tightening of the torso, accompanied with a slightly inward facing lip.

This chawan was made by Eikō Miyaji (宮地英香), a workshop known for producing affordable and accessible iro-e and seasonal Kyo-yaki chawan, helping spread tea and tea culture.

Please note: there is natural variation in the glaze colour. The chawan you receive may have a more saturated beige than pictured.
