Perhaps inspired by the recently created 引き出し黒 (hikidashi-guro) technique used to produce the Seto-guro style of black chawan, Rikyu collaborated with tile-maker Chojiro to produce a new style of ware for use in the tea ceremony. Hand-formed from porous clay rather than wheel-thrown, Raku chawan are then coated in a lead glaze, fired at low temperatures, and removed from the kiln while still glowing hot. Most Raku chawan exist in two styles: Aka-raku (red raku), and Kuro-raku (black raku). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9.8cm (3.9in) - width\u003cbr\u003e10.1cm (4in) - height\u003cbr\u003e500ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vintage Japanese item ships from the United States\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548468830252,"sku":"US-M41","price":188.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1dvE5jen2RhbcHLKuMlC_M1pqS0YuRt9c.jpg?v=1779031701","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-matcha-bowl-katsura-kiln-egret-kuroraku-raku-yaki-winter-chawan-500ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
