The glaze catches light from every angle, shifting between blue, violet, and bronze as you turn the cup. The rim is raw and irregular, encrusted with glaze that has bubbled and frozen mid-movement. The interior provides a clear contrast: a dramatic mosaic of large, irregular white islands separated by bold black crackle lines and washes of deep rust-red and amber — like a satellite view of a frozen tundra, or the surface of the moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eForm \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide, low chawan form — generous and bowl-like, made to be cradled in both hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstantial weight with excellent heat retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavily textured exterior — deeply tactile and grounding to hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIrregular, hand-shaped rim — raw and alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes This Piece Distinctive\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of the exterior's deep blue crawled glaze and the interior's bold mosaic crackle is unusual — the result of clay, glaze and kiln atmosphere interacting during this firing. This cup is a one-of-a-kind functional artwork: visually arresting, historically rooted in the Shino tradition, and specific to this firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor the collector who seeks the beauty in everyday objects.
