How do you define a yunomi?

by **Potty** June 4th 2013, 4:45 pm

Yunomi's are also tea bowls, but are generally taller and thinner than Chawans as I understand it. (Size does matter! Big Laughter

)

A Guinomi would be a saki cup and is much smaller than a Yunomi / Chawan.

I think the above is correct, but SP would be the best to advise Most Excellent

That Potty's got it more or less right except that a yunomi is a cup rather than a bowl and is used in Japan for drinking green tea and held in one hand - look upon it as a mug without a handle.

A chawan is the same as a teabowl and in Japan would be used in the Tea Ceremony - it's held in two hands and the "tea" is thick and looks like pea soup. So not for everyday use and it is traditionally the most expensive item that a Japanese potter makes. I exhibited a potter whose vases around 25cm/10 inches high were £250 and some of his teabowls were £1200. I didn't sell any of the latter.

A few years ago the "Gnarly Dudes" did make the use of shells on wood-fired pots a bit of a cliche but this is the real thing - a wood fired chawan from Shigaraki by Hajimu Kato.

Kato's mark is at 11 o'clock in the last picture under the ash.

Just the sort of stuff that appeals to me ,you just wanna touch Most Excellent

With some potters, whose work I like, it takes an age to find something that really appeals and the Lisa Hammond yunomi below is one such example: -

I know what you mean,for the past 4 years I have scrutinised every pot on her stall at Earth and Fire then walk away empty handed Laughter

by **dantheman** June 18th 2013, 12:39 pm

some might say so Phil, I often will stand chatting with a seller for half an hour about every aspect of his wares but walk away empty handed.

Just for you Dan.... Happy

I've had it for a very long time.Picked up at Charity Shop or Boot Sale,I can't even remember now. I've always interpreted the mark via Yates-Owen,as Ian Auld. But I'm sure I might well be disabused right now! Happy

by **philpot** June 18th 2013, 5:00 pm

And while we are at it. Any opinions on this mark on a fairly standard Yunomi?
