THREE YEARS BUT WHO'S COUNTING

I first mentioned this chawan in a post back in November 2017 at which point I thought I was close to getting a slideshow video of the chawan put together but the file is still on the computer and I am not much closer to getting it done after all it is only three years but who's counting. The original post was about how well the teabowl was back and double boxed though to a certain degree maybe it was over packed, check for yourself; https://albedo3studio.blogspot.com/2017/09/a.html   

 As for the chawan, it was made by Koyama Naohiko, son of Koyama Kiyoko and though on the small side it packs quite a visual punch. Obviously well fired and in a rather desirable spot in the kiln, the velocity and ferocity (no not twins from P&TNPG) is written like a good novel across the surface of the bowl with the ash frozen in motion and culminating in a near flawless emerald gen-like drip on the reverse (see detail). The chawan was fired on its side at an angle as indicated by the shell scars which add volumes to the surface. I am hoping it doesn't take me another few years to get a slideshow video made for this Koyama chawan as I think it is worth seeing to get the fullest picture of the piece, maybe in a couple of weeks.
