Type... Pottery... Mashiko-yaki This is a Yunomi (teacup) by Shoji Hamada, a Living National Treasure of Mashiko-yaki folk art pottery, with a signed wooden box. After bisque firing, the piece is covered with a ground (the dark gray area on the upper part), followed by an opaque gray glaze over the entire surface, and finally, the rim is finished with black glaze in a "kawagera" style. The high foot, with its "kairagi" (cracked glaze) appearance, is a characteristic of Shoji Hamada's work. The design of the body's banding also combines design and functionality, making it a very interesting and excellent piece. The presence of a paper tag is also a nice touch. I think this price, including shipping, is a bargain! First come, first served! Height: Approximately 9.3cm, Maximum width: Approximately 9cm. No damage, complete condition! There is a rough texture in some areas due to the "samehada" (shark skin) effect. The small white spot in the center of the last image is likely a result of a burst during firing. I have set the price very low, at the limit. Please understand that I cannot accept price negotiations. I would appreciate it if you could purchase it immediately. Please confirm the condition with the images before purchasing. Thank you very much. * If you request to purchase multiple items, I can definitely offer a discount on the shipping cost.
