This Japanese teabowl, or *chawan*, was crafted by the renowned potter Eiraku Wazen between 1840 and 1860. Wazen, born in 1823, is known for his innovative approach to traditional pottery techniques, and this *chawan* showcases his expertise in creating a simple yet elegant form. The bowl features a smooth, dark glaze with subtle variations in texture, evoking a sense of naturalness and refinement. The *chawan*, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the enduring beauty and artistry of Japanese ceramics.
