The hallmark of Shino glazes is the result of incorporating feldspathic ash into the kiln atmosphere during firing, creating a unique texture and a characteristic "orange peel" surface. Originally inspired by Chinese ceramics, Shino ware evolved to represent a uniquely Japanese aesthetic. Potters often experiment with kiln conditions to achieve variations in the glaze, resulting in a diverse range of Shino styles. Over the centuries, Shino ware has continued to captivate enthusiasts with its rustic charm and timeless beauty, making it a celebrated and sought-after genre in the realm of Japanese pottery.
This hand-coiled teabowl has a beautiful, creamy crawling glaze with a black underskin. Red lacquer coats the inside for a powerful effect.
