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\u003e11.5cm (4.5in) - width\u003cbr\u003e8cm (3.1in) - height\u003cbr\u003e250ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vintage Japanese item ships from Thailand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-----------------\u003cbr\u003eLike what you see?
