Chawan (teabowl) modeled after a raku bowl

This is a teabowl modeled after a Japanese raku chawan for tea ceremony. This bowl has been printed and tested.

The teabowl has a rounded rim, a kodai that it is easy to grip and a chadamari. It is also slightly wider at the bottom than at the top to make it easier to whisk the tea. It is 100% flat on the top so the chashaku will slide, just like on regular chawan that is flat.

I used regular PLA, not certified food-safe or dishwasher safe, just plain PLA. The teabowl could handle all the water needed for both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea) temae without becoming soft or deforming.

Please make considerations about food-safety when using a teabowl like this. I would recommend getting food-safe material. However also keep in mind that real raku would not pass a modern criteria for food-safety. In-fact in japan they are exempt from it because the "food" is in contact with the tea bowl for such a short time.
