oujigama

$268.00

A cylindrical vase for a loose gathering of wild flowers, garden cuttings, or a single piece of wonky greenery... The simple geometry of its hand-built form is contrasted with an incredible shino surface, alive with unique flashing and organic complexity.

Originally developed in the Momoyama Period (1568–1600) shino glaze is a hallmark of the oujigama pottery. Its milky translucency and characteristic crawling or 'pin-holing' effect (where the glaze pulls away from the clay during the firing process) add textural drama and rustic warmth to each piece.

Established in 1900, the Seto-based Oujigama pottery began by producing traditional mortar and pestles, and is now a third generation maker of a wide range of hand thrown vessels and tableware.

Seto is considered the cultural home of Japanese ceramics, and the Oujigama moro (workshop) has been designated as a tangible cultural property by Seto City.

They specialise in the use of local Seto clay with thick Shinoyu-glaze, creating a milky white colour and a characteristic crawling or 'pin-holing' effect, where the glaze pulls away from the clay during the firing process.
