Tomio Suzuki's shino works are renowned for their provocative textures, sculpted terrains and bold brushwork.  This captivating green tea cup is done in nezumi shino, or literally "mouse shino", as denoted by its soft grey tone.  While cooling in the kiln, pinholes and crackles form as the feldspar glaze shrinks tightly around the clay body.  Its appeal is immediately tactile, inviting you on an exploration around the surface with your hands as a guide.

Mr. Suzuki's works are all formed on a handwheel with overlapping coils of mogusa clay.  This technique minimizes mechanical precision and assures that no two pieces are ever quite the same.

For hot or cold green tea or iced tea.
