Shino is one of the ceramic styles in which Sawada Hiroyuki specializes.  Its most distinctive characteristic is small pinholes in the glaze which tea masters favor and term yuzu-hada, or citrus skin.

These elegant cups are reminiscent of the shino wares of old, holding classical images (a heron and figurative rice field) rendered in iron-oxide brushwork.  The incised vertical lines are formed in a technique called shinogi and coax the yuzu-hada texture from the mostly feldspar glaze.

Because they are mostly bone white with flashes of orange, these shino cups (yunomi) beautifully present the color and clarity of green tea.  Ideal for the tea aficionado - and partner.

See Sawada Hiroyuki's 2009 Hankyu exhibition for more works from his recent collection.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 3 weeks.
