Gentle and soft impressions hide a stronger, more vigorous face within these ceramics, silently insisting on an everyday dining scene. His signature glazing and colouring, and “shinogi” techniques are proving "Koh Ichino 市野耕” as a young, talented ceramicist making aesthetic ceramics in Ehime Japan.
This is a Japanese classic "Dobin 土瓶" style tea pot. It comes with a rustic brass handle to contrast with the beauty of the characterful ceramic. Perfect to serve Japanese Green tea, Hoiji-cha, Genmai-cha, herbal tea, English tea, etc.
It is very interesting to see how the original red clay turns into a naturally white face when the white clay slip is added, which is called "white makeup" in Japan. These white ceramics show a natural depth of colour, which comes from minerals in the soil combined with the ceramicists skills. And his shinogi techniques and creative patterning adds characterful dimensions to these simple ceramics.
This is a hand made ceramic so each piece has a slightly different colour, shape and character...
