Chawan [I]usually [/I]have vertical sides and although some can be taller than wide like a yunomi they are more often either square in proportion or wider than they are tall. When I see a bowl flared like yours, I hesitate to describe it as a chawan. This is an English studio pottery yunomi from my collection: [ATTACH=full]210099[/ATTACH] and a Canadian sang-de-boeuf chawan. [ATTACH=full]210100[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
