Kiseto Chawan Rice Bowl

This Chawan (rice bowl) is handcrafted by Seto ware potter Takemitsu Iwatsuki, renowned for his mastery of Kise-to glaze. Rooted in the long tradition of Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, Iwatsuki continues to bring the warmth and beauty of this historic style into everyday life.
Kise-to, a signature glaze of Seto ware since the 16th century, is loved for its soft yellow tones and gentle warmth. Produced by adding iron to ash glaze and firing in an oxidizing flame, it creates subtle variations in color that give each piece a unique character.
This chawan is designed to enrich daily dining. Its smooth texture, warm tones, and refined simplicity make it ideal for enjoying rice or side dishes, while also bringing a sense of quiet elegance to the table. A perfect balance of tradition, craftsmanship, and everyday comfort.
