Atarashi Manabu Iga Guinomi 70ml

Cup, stoneware

Width: 7 x cm Height: 6 x cm

This handcrafted Guinomi impresses with its archaic aura and the visible traces of wood firing. The irregular shape appears deliberately raw and powerful, as if the vessel had been carved out of a block of stone. The surface displays a multi-layered texture with fine cracks, ash deposits, and partially vitrified areas. Earthy gray and beige tones are interwoven with warm reddish-brown firing marks, which lend the Guinomi depth and vitality. The green vitrified areas are particularly beautiful, allowing the clay body beneath to shimmer through.

The slightly uneven walls and gently flared rim provide a pleasant tactile experience and emphasize the handcrafted character. Every side reveals a different interplay of clay, fire, and ash.

Atarashi Manabu is known for his extravagant style, which is reflected in angularly crafted forms that give the impression that the vessels have been carved from stone. Each of his works is delivered in a hand-signed wooden box (tomobako).
