Teacup Mino ware, work by Mr. Takao Kato of Issho Kiln This is an authentic Shino-yaki teacup made from Mogusa clay, which has now been exhausted. The "kairagi" (crackle) scenery is also magnificent, and it is a teacup with a dignified style. Approximate size: Height: 8 cm Diameter: 6 cm This was made about 40 years ago by Mr. Takao Kato, who was asked to create it in a single gas kiln. We have decided to offer it to those who are interested. Please note: This is not the type of item for which you can expect antique value or price appreciation. We will sell it to those who appreciate the scenery of the Mino ware Shino glaze Mogusa clay guinomi (small sake cup) and will continue to use it to further nurture the piece. Artist: Mr. Takao Kato After retiring, he opened Issho Kiln and devoted himself to Shino glaze pottery. Currently, his son has taken over the kiln. Born in 1945, residing in Gifu Prefecture. There is no paulownia box or bookmark for this work. It will be carefully wrapped and sent in a cardboard box. #Shino #Mino ware #Kairagi #Mogusa clay #Pottery #Pottery art #Potter #Artist's work #Mogusa clay Thank you for viewing.
