The result is a deep, complex green, with a unique sheen that can sometimes appear blue. Another side effect of this traditional method is the dull oxide film which forms on the surface of the glaze. This must be removed to allow the colour to shine through. To do this, each cup is soaked for two days in a solution called tochishibu (栃渋) which is made from horse chestnut caps. In addition to removing the oxide film from the green Oribe glaze, the tochishibu also softens the colour of the white glaze, stains the crazing, and darkens the exposed clay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Katō Hiroshige (Kasen Kiln)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548290048044,"sku":"US-T158","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/Tezumi-_DSC0211.jpg?v=1779028665","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/classic-oribe-yunomi-210ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
