I agree - DDG chawan!!
Ha! thanks vetraio and racer! i guess that the larger mark is for red raku, which i'd never heard of.
wow! i just found this info: http://www.oldjapaninc.com/products/red-raku-tea-bowl/
the smaller mark is a kiln mark, and this is highly unusual for a piece of red raku.
i just added much clearer shots of the kiln and chop marks.
The Japanese Ceramic Collectors group on FB may be able to help further.
thanks racer. they let me know that it is a special piece. very interesting history of red raku!
