One edge of the bowl is furnished with a dimple, making it comfortable in the hand while the gold repairs give it an added beauty and depth...

sold Rugged, heavy, startlingly strong and breathtakingly beautiful, Iga ware has a special place in the heart of every collector of tea ceremony items. For many, it is the epitome of Japanese ceramics. From the combination of the potters' hands and the clay itself — at its best, Iga appears to be born rather than made. With Iga ware, nothing is hidden. You sense, see the and feel the clay; from the motion and actions of the potter to the random and somewhat accidental build up of transparent as...

Sold, Thank You! Oribe is a visual style named after the late-16th-century tea master Furuta Oribe (1544-1615). Kuro Oribe (as pictured here) with their jet-black glazes and feldspar ornamentation tend toward the minimalistic, abstract; and, some would say, Zen-like aesthetic.
Typical of Mino pieces of the time, this Oribe chawan is made of coarse, unrefined clay and covered in a dark iron-glaze which turns a lustrous black color when removed from the kiln (still glowing red) and allowed to cool sl... |
