The chawans dry out. This one wears a granular matte-white glaze rather than a glossy one, its surface a little sandy, worked with black and navy patches, powder-blue accents, and rust flecks scattered low. The recessed foot shows concentric throwing rings, and the base carries “2179” handwritten on the bare clay.
Matte, not shiny? Matte and grainy — the same blue-and-black palette laid on a dry white ground, giving the cup a chalkier feel than its glossy siblings. Piece 2179 of 10,000, listed at $21.79.
