A round, black ceramic earthenware pot, easy to use with handles and a lid. - Color: Black - Material: Ceramic - Shape: Round - Bottom Design: Smooth bottom - Handles: With handles - Lid: With lid Kanedai Pottery × Amenoie This is a Yukihira pot from "Kanedai Pottery," a 150-year-old kiln founded in 1872, located in Maruhashi, Iga City, Mie Prefecture, the home of Iga-yaki pottery. The Yukihira pot features a glossy black color called "Tenmoku glaze," which is familiar in Iga-yaki and contains a high iron content. Iga originally produces high-quality pot clay, so it is made of 100% Iga clay and does not contain petalite. It seems that the Tenmoku glaze cannot be used if petalite is included, and it is impossible to achieve the current color and texture. Also, although there is an advantage that it is less likely to crack when heated by adding petalite, the heat enters quickly, making it difficult to fully utilize the goodness of the ingredients. In comparison, Iga earthenware pots heat up slowly, allowing you to enjoy delicious hot pot dishes that bring out the original flavors of the ingredients. Thank you for viewing.
