This listing is for a Seto-ware chawan made around 20-30 years ago.  It is wheel-thrown using light coloured stoneware clay, and coated in semi-transparent khaki coloured glaze.  The lower part of the bowl is faceted, and the bowl slopes inwards just below the rim which gives the piece a slightly curving lip.  The signature of the potter can be found on the bottom, and it comes with its original paper box. 

Seto-ware was originally used to describe ceramics that were produced in and around the village of Seto, in Aichi Prefecture. The soil around the city contains good quality porcelain clay as well as silica for making glass. Among the major kiln groups established by the Kamakura period only those at Seto developed the deliberately applied glaze instead of the old natural ash glaze. The rich Seto glaze was perfected during the fifteenth century, and later adopted by potters of Mino Province. Seto is currently the largest producer of ceramic novelties, such as animal and bird okimono, dolls, ashtrays, and vases.
