石田和也氏作　備前　無釉薬　 Unglazed Bizen ware crafted by Kazuya Ishida ■ sɪᴢᴇ: W13cm× H7cm Please note that individual sizes and glaze textures may vary slightly as they are handmade by the artist. 陶芸家による作陶の為、個々のサイズや釉薬の質感に多少の違いがございます。予めご了承願います。 Bizen ware is the ultimate in simple pottery, crafted without any glaze (a coating applied to the surface of unglazed ceramics) or painted decorations. Fired at high temperatures between 1200 and 1300 degrees Celsius, its unique patterns are naturally born from the properties of the clay, the placement of the pieces inside the kiln, temperature fluctuations, and the interaction with ash and charcoal during the firing process. The profound charm of this handcrafted pottery lies in the fact that no two pieces are ever exactly alike in color or pattern. Another defining feature is that its texture and character will only grow richer and more beautiful the more you use it.
