The shape is pretty good. It doesn't look like it was thrown, however -- did you build it up without a wheel?
I particularly like the glazing work. That's a good job.

Very nice. Pottery is one of those things I've always wanted to try and have not managed to find time to learn. Yet. For tezukuri one master-class is enough. Wheel is more complicated. Thank you for the link. Interesting.

Noble Cousin! Greetings from Solveig! 1. Your bowl is an admirable first attempt. 2. Rakujawan are actually hand built on small "rokuro" wheels. 3. Rikyukonomi chawan do not have added decorations such as you have added to your glaze. 4. Surprisingly, the technique for making the uneven lip of a typical rakujawan is to first build a chawan with a completely flat and finished lip and then to cut it while turning the hand wheel. 5. I am impressed that you have made and indented base with a "fire hole". Making flat bases is a typical mistake. I do believe though that your base is more than a bit wider than those commonly seen. You need to understand that the base is functional. The host at one point holds the bowl in one hand with the thumb on the rim of the bowl and the middle finger inserted into the base. Incidentally, earlier Chinese style bowls are called tenmokujawan and are conical in shape. They are supported by wooden stands and are used at Daitokuji. Even earlier, tea was used medicinally and dispensed in bowls with spouts. You can find replicas of these as well, and they are sometimes used for tea.

I found this cute chawan in a local thrift store for one dollar. Anybody know if this potter is famous? I think the bottom says "Benny".
