Yanashita Hideki Shino Sake Cup 80 ml

Dimensions: 7 x 5.4 cm (width x height)

Stoneware

This rustic Guinomi was hand-built by the versatile ceramicist Yanashita Hideki. Yanashita owns several kilns in which he primarily fires tea ceramics in the Raku, Ido, Shigaraki, Iga, and Shino styles. This Guinomi is stylistically Shino. Beneath the feldspar glaze is a decoration applied with iron oxide. The wood firing has given this small bowl a warmer and more natural appearance. Typical of Yanashita is that his Guinomi are made with as much care as matcha bowls and therefore look like small miniatures. This Guinomi comes in a signed wooden box (tomobako).
