Sangiri Bizen-yaki Mug - 270ml

This Bizen-yaki mug was fired in a traditional wood-fueled noborigama (登り窯 - climbing kiln), with the ash and flames producing the rustic texture and organic colours that Bizen-yaki is loved for. The particular effect seen here is called sangiri.

This mug was designed by 19th-generation potter Mori Toshiaki for the Genso line and was made by potters of the Mori family. The bowl comes in a kiribako (桐箱 - paulownia wooden box) signed by the artist.

Due to the organic and nature of hand-potting and wood-firing, each piece is unique.
