Back to the tea line: a warm brown handbuilt chawan, sandy as crumbled cake, its undulating rim traced with gloss where glaze caught and stopped. The second photo puts it in the maker’s hand, which is the best size reference this catalog ever gives. Pale flecks ride through the grit.
Why photograph it held? Because scale is otherwise invisible here — the hand is the only honest ruler on these pages. Piece 1970 of 10,000, listed at $19.70.
