Glazed tea Bowl

Michael threw this chawan (tea bowl) on the wheel using stoneware clay from the German Westerwald. He altered the shape by hand and finished it with a shino glaze and a salt glaze. The production stages and application of the glaze are clearly visible, characteristic of Michael's philosophy as an artisan, where each step in the process is planned and of equal importance to the overall piece.
