Title	Teabowl with tenmoku glaze
Description	This chawan bears a typical black tenmoku glaze on the outside, while on the inside of the bowl a plum design emerges from the "tortoise shell" glaze that is typical of Taihizan style tenmoku bowls. The term "tenmoku" refers to historical Chinese teabowls but also to any teabowl shape or any glaze based on those originals. Tenmoku chawan usually rest on a formal black lacquer (shin-nuri) stand as they have a high center of gravity and may easily tip, and because tenmoku chawan are considered to be extremely formal utensils worthy of special presentation.
