Ash glaze is a glaze made mainly from the ashes of plants and trees, and the finished color varies depending on the firing method (oxidation or reduction). It is characterized by a subdued yellowishbrown or bluishgreen hue. The presence of his Kaiyuu vessels is enhanced by the ruggedness of the Okinawan earth and the natural patterns of the clay, as if the scene of long firing can be seen. The most popular type is called kataguchi, which is made of Kaiyuu. These dishes are often used as drinking vessels, but when served with side dishes such as boiled and simmered dishes, they look like a dish served in a Japanese restaurant. Height about 7.5cm Diameter about 16cm These products are carefully made one by one by individual artists. Each piece has its own subtle flavor and characteristics, and is affected by the season in which it was made, the weather when it was put in the kiln, etc. One of the charms of Yachimun is that it does not have a uniform finish. For this reason, there may be slight differences in finish from the images you see of the vessels. We hope you will understand this before making your choice. Because each piece is individually handmade, the color and pattern of the finished product may vary depending on the condition of the kiln at the time and the season.
