This Japanese pottery piece reflects centuries of craftsmanship dating back to the Kofun Period through the Kamakura period when Bizen ware’s distinctive firing method was developed. The firing allows oxygen to enter the kiln, creating warm earth tones and natural variations in color that deepen with use over time. The rough surface texture known as ash-kagari results from burying the pottery in embers during firing, enhancing both its rustic appearance and tactile quality.
