Awata ware

Awata ware zhun type dish, clay partly covered with drawing under a transparent, finely-crackled glaze; top covered with a thick second glaze, Edo period (19th century)

Awata ware (粟田焼, Awata-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery that is a form of Kyō ware from Kyoto.[1]

It is related to other Kyō wares such as Mizoro ware and Kiyomizu ware, but denotes the kiln it originates from. The origin lies in the Awataguchi area of Kyoto.[2] Awata kilns also produced Satsuma ware at one point.[3]
