Hello, this may be vague but I would suggest finding a reputable dealer to help you acquire an antique Raku chawan. CB

@@CABatA3S thank you, do you think there can be fakes on the market?

@@krestonosets68 A very well known dealer in NYC once told me there are more fakes than real chawan when dealing with the heads of the Raku family. CB

@@CABatA3S Thank you, I wonder if the fakes are made in Japan by Japanese people or somewhere else.

@@krestonosets68 I would be reasonably sure that the bulk of the fakes originate in Japan.

Hello, I am sorry, though I know of his work, I do not communicate with him. CAB

Yes a clip from the television show.

No, it is all just Shino glaze. CAB

CABatA3S is black shino common? I've only really seen the white to orange to red spectrum.

We live in brave new times where any glaze can be altered to fit one's needs or personality. There is a fair amount of "black" Shino style glazes that are in fact a result of trapped carbon. CAB

Thank you Dr. Addiss. Any input is appreciated, have all your books/catalogues, they are all wonderfully thumb worn.Craig Bird

The "glaze" is the all natural result of an intense wood firing where ash in the kiln is deposited on the chawan and melts to become a glass like surface. CAB
