A quieter, warmer chawan. A cream tea bowl carries a brushy navy-indigo patch massed on one side — its ragged upper edge happening to peak like a low mountain — with dark speckle around it and a rust-tan wash warming the clay near the foot. The blue and the warm foot split the cup between cool and earthy. The base carries “2177” handwritten.
Is that a mountain? It falls that way by chance — a brushed navy mass with a ragged crest — but it’s recorded as a patch of color, not a picture. Piece 2177 of 10,000, listed at $21.77.
