Shino ware is a distinctive style of Japanese pottery that emerged in the Mino region during the Momoyama period (late 16th century). Known for its creamy white glaze and irregular, spontaneous patterns, Shino ware reflects the aesthetic principles of wabi-sabi, embracing imperfections and simplicity. 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.
