Shigaraki ware Hechimon small bowl with cracked pattern MR-3-3010

Country of Origin: Japan Shigaraki ware is pottery made in Shigaraki Town, Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. Counted one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, it boasts a rich history spanning more than 1,200 years. The name "hechimon" comes from a Shigaraki artisan's term meaning "unusual objects." These vessels, like the various shapes created by nature and the individual personalities of each of us, possess a variety of expressions. They are filled with the care and playfulness of masters who cherish "inhomogeneity." Finished with a cooled reduction firing process, the contrast between the dark, smoky surface and the crazing creates a truly exquisite piece. Individual pieces may differ in size, color, and glaze finish from the photograph. Please enjoy the unique flavor of pottery.
