Chawan.


Simple bowl form thrown then scrapped from foot up to middle with a kidney tool on four sides, to make indentations. Vessel was then cut off the wheel head with a stretched spring, and roughly pulled off (see lifted/distorted foot to right side of base) wheel head.

Small tenmoku bowl.





A favourite little bowl I made about 18 Months ago. Not sure if I've posted it before, but as I came across it again today (as I was looking for another piece (that I of course can't find)) I thought I would share it with you.
It's when I find an old piece that is so different from what I'm currently doing that I'm glad I save pieces that I particularly like.
