Great Bizen ceramic by a very famous artist of medium size with partial Goma cinder glaze and signs of firing. Hand-turned ceramic, very slightly asymmetrical with well pronounced finger grooves. Subtle trace of cinder from the Anagama kiln on the surface (fired for days in a traditional kiln over pinewood).
Classic piece by Fujiwara Yu with a captivating, powerful and authentic charm.
Authentic original from Japan, manufactured for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies and for the art of Ikebana, used in Japan. Unique hand-craftsmanship with attractive aura.
