This item was collected by my grandparents, who love travel and cooking. I'm decluttering and have decided to let it go. ☆ Shichiemon Kiln, set of 2 Uses: Tea cups for a couple Features: From the Hirashimizu-yaki kiln "Shichiemon Kiln." Some people may not be familiar with it. It is pottery and porcelain made at the foot of Mt. Chitose in Yamagata City, with a history of over 200 years. It is characterized by pottery with a soft texture created by white makeup, and expressions that make use of soil containing a lot of iron. "Shichiemon Kiln" is one of the three remaining kilns of Hirashimizu-yaki. It makes everyday tableware such as vases, plates, and teacups that make use of the texture of the original soil with a lot of iron and have a simple texture. The reddish-brown sides, like a baked finish, have a fine particle feel that is slightly different from the pottery you often see, even though it is pottery. You'll understand when you hear the material. It is said to be made using soft "stone" taken from the foot of Mt. Chitose in Yamagata Prefecture. By firing it at a relatively high temperature, it approaches the texture of porcelain. It has a smooth, dry touch that you'll want to keep stroking. The glaze has a color that mixes blue and gray. It is the "Nashi Seiji" glaze, which is a specialty of "Shichiemon Kiln," and it features a thick, plump finish, and iron spots that float on the surface.
