This is the first time we received one in a 'tomobako' wooden box that plays a significant role in the value and protection of the pottery work. It was a joy to unveil the contents and lift out a chawan that is more bulbous in shape and gentler in your hands. Made to fit the contours of cupped palms, this rounded chawan feels familiar and comfortable to hold. Ando-san hand builds all of his pieces to highlight the natural textures of the clay, and with this piece, he’s taken a more subtle approach to keep a smoother surface and an understated elegance. We've learned that drinking with a gold cup can help alleviate symptoms of chronic pain - the celestial flecks of gold that scatter the surfaces have an otherworldly impression, that remind us of the power of the raw materials that form this rare piece by a master potter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Chawan II was curated by Angélique
