Description
At first glance, this sake cup appears calm and earthbound, yet closer inspection reveals a finely woven network of craquelure that covers the creamy white Shino glaze. Shino-yaki is considered one of the most original ceramic traditions of Japan and has been prized for centuries for its thick, milky-looking glaze, beneath which the clay body shows through in warm gray and brown tones. This guinomi, too, bears the signature of Bungo Yamamoto and displays the slightly angular hand-forming characteristic of his work.
Dark, metallically shimmering areas run irregularly across the wall, creating an appealing contrast with the light base glaze. The slightly wavy rim reveals that the bowl was built up entirely by hand, without the use of a potter's wheel.
Delivered in a wooden box signed by the potter himself, this piece is suited both to use in drinking sake and as a display object. A quiet, characterful work from the Shōwa period, once again demonstrating the timeless appeal of Shino ware.
