The gold has an unusual finish, almost matte at first glance, but with a soft shimmer that reveals itself as you turn the bowl in your hands. It's quite different from the bright, polished gold we might ordinarily expect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Ando-san created this series, he spoke about deliberately scraping and altering the gold glaze to give these precious vessels a more rustic, everyday character. I find that idea particularly compelling in this piece. There's something wonderful about using such a precious material and then deliberately resisting perfection. The uneven rim, the variations in the surface, and that wonderful subdued gold all make it a bowl I'd want to pick up and examine from every angle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Chawan XI was curated by Angélique
