Suzuki Tomio's shino creations are renowned for their tactile richness, and this lovely murasaki (purple) shino saké cup epitomizes his unique approach to pottery making.  While cooling in the kiln, the thick feldspar overglaze shrinks tightly around the clay body, forming a textured landscape of pinholes and crackles that beckons to be explored.

As a new enhancement, the cup is accented with vertical lines called taté-jima - Mr. Suzuki's most recent creative impulse.  The iron content in the base glaze affects each overlapping layer, creating a wonderful sense of depth and rhythm around the entire piece.

A gem for the saké aficionado.
