Direct from the kiln, brand new, unused. Iga-yaki Kiln #Akinoseitosho Established in 1935 434 Maruhashira, Iga City, Mie Prefecture Size: Diameter 25.9cm, Height 9.5cm Outlet item! There are 3-4mm spots on the inside of the pot's body. The lid is fine. Please purchase if you understand. There are no problems with use. We have been manufacturing and selling Iga-yaki products to various companies. We have decided to list on Mercari because we want to deliver our products to individual customers. We have many other products, so please take a look. We have stock, but it is limited. This product was fired using carbonization firing. Normal oxidation firing (firing with sufficient oxygen) Next, reduction firing (firing by smoking without sufficient oxygen) And the most difficult is carbonization firing, which is smoking with soot. This is a firing method we tried to use to make the gold color of the brushstrokes appear without overglazing. The brick color of the pot is because it has absorbed carbon and turned red. This is a firing method that is rarely used except by ceramic artists. The pot body is direct-flame OK and can be used as is. (No seasoning required) Not compatible with IH. No price negotiations, please! How to add value: Do what cannot be done with mass-produced products. In the case of a pot, process the surface of the body and lid (shave with a metal plane). Attach handles (ears) to the shaved body. The price is affected by the difficulty of the handle shape. This is the value based on the clay (raw material) and shape. Next is the value based on the glaze (color, difficulty of color development and price). Finally, the firing method (oxidation, reduction, carbonization, etc.) is considered. The added value changes significantly depending on the combination of these three elements. #Akinoseitosho #IgaYaki #ClayPot
