Flower vessel, Nezumi shino, Vase A - Goren-kiln, Sachi Yamashita, Mino ware, Ceramics

This is a Nezumi shino vase. The unique mogusa clay of Mino ware is generously covered with feldspar glaze. When the clay is half-dried, a wooden spatula is used to scrape off the excess clay. In this process, the clay is scraped off to the very limit of the thickness of the work. Through this way, the vessel is finished to be light and easy to handle while having a stately appearance. By applying oniita mud underneath the glaze, a gradation of white and gray is created along with the shading of the glaze, and the burnt iron that appears in some areas becomes an accent in the scenery. Also, being fired in a relatively high temperature position in the kiln, there are many highlights to be seen, such as the presence or absence of glaze luster, color changes due to iron makeup, and burnt iron that has risen to the surface of the glaze. The works are slowly fired in an old-style wood-fired kiln over a period of one week, and you can enjoy the varied expressions of each piece.
