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\u003e11.7cm (4.6in) - width\u003cbr\u003e8.7cm (3.4in) - height\u003cbr\u003e300ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vintage Japanese item ships from the United States\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548457263148,"sku":"US-M79","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1KV5TD3h7Op4uxB8LyIkQywAEh9e3Laju.jpg?v=1779031517","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-matcha-bowl-rakunyu-kiln-scenic-red-aka-raku-chawan-300ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
