Hashimoto Daisuke calls this signature glaze seikō (青煌) which means 'blue glitter'. This multipurpose vessel can be used as a yuzamashi, to cool water, or as a serving vessel for tea or sake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe term 'tenmoku' (天目) can refer to two things: the shape of a bowl, i.e. conical with a finger groove and flare at the lip; and a dark high-iron glaze that can produce various beautiful effects under the right firing conditions. Both of these originated in Jian ware from Fujian during the Song dynasty (960-1279) in China, where the dark colour of the glaze was praised for the way it contrasts nicely with the froth of whisked tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile most Tenmoku glazes are a simple black, occasionally the glaze recipe and the conditions in the kiln are just right, causing the ash in the glaze to separate from the iron in a way that produces beautiful metallic effects, such as the one seen on this katakushi, called 'yuteki', meaning 'oil-spot'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis yuzamashi was made by Hashimoto Daisuke (橋本大輔) and comes in its original kiribako (桐箱 - wooden paulownia box). Born in 1973, Hashimoto-san is one of Japan's youngest tenmoku artists, who produces exceedingly beautiful pieces from his own kiln in Shiga Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12.6cm (5in) - width\u003cbr\u003e6.9cm (2.7in) - height\u003cbr\u003e200ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis vintage Japanese item ships from the United States\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548351127596,"sku":"US-Y5","price":378.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/19NeKZd6FSjcqVSiG1X0--3utISL13bKm.jpg?v=1779030270","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-katakuchi-hashimoto-daisuke-cerulean-tenmoku-glazed-yuzamashi-200ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
