Chawan: (CHW-547), Korean Joseon-style celadon or white-glaze tea bowl
- SKU:
- CHW-547
This chawan’s characteristics—particularly the dense crackle, glaze pooling, iron-rich exposed foot, and straightforward symmetry—strongly align with Korean Joseon-style celadon or white-glaze tea bowls, especially those produced for practical or tea use rather than court display. Its form and surface treatment are less consistent with Japanese Edo-period or modern studio interpretations, which tend toward refinement and porcelain-quality clay bodies.
