Also included in Yuichi Ikai's diverse glazing repertoire is celadon.  Called seiji in Japanese, it is characterized by overlapping layers and fine cracks that form beneath the glassy surface while cooling in the kiln.

Mr. Ikai captures the colors of the sky in this lovely set of celadon glasses.  An intricate mosaic of fine cracks is illuminated from behind by a powdery blue, while a shade of grey yohen (kiln changes) floats gently across one side.  Both are skillfully hand thrown on a potter's wheel and have a slight undulating quality.

For green tea (hot or cold), beer, or any beverage of choice.
