Product description
There is a beauty that does not seek to seduce. This chawan is its perfect embodiment. Its ash-grey-green glaze, matte and almost powdery to the touch, evokes the surface of a stone polished by a stream, mountain morning mist, or the cold ash of an extinguished fire. Nothing here is superfluous. Nothing is ostentatious. And yet, one cannot look away.
The haiyū glaze, obtained from vegetable ashes mixed with clay, is one of the oldest techniques in Japanese ceramics. It gives each piece a unique hue, impossible to reproduce exactly, as the composition of the ashes varies according to the type of wood, the season, and the bowl's position in the kiln.
The bare reddish-brown terracotta foot provides the only contrast to the piece—discreet and warm—as a reminder that beneath the ash, the earth is alive. Only one piece available, for those who prefer depth over brilliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this bowl's haiyū glaze?
It is a glaze made from plant ash mixed with clay, one of the oldest techniques in Japanese ceramics, which gives each piece its own shade.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No, the matte glaze is sensitive to chemicals; wash it by hand in clean water, without detergent, and dry it gently without rubbing.
Will the glaze change with use?
Yes, its porosity lets it deepen slightly over time, a quality valued in this type of ceramic.
