Cang Jing Handmade | Wood-Fired Shino Tea Bowl

Shino glaze is like a conversation between fire and earth, leaving behind the most natural traces. The intense flames of wood firing dance within the kiln, creating a interplay of fire marks and crawling glaze. Within the soft, yellowish-white Shino glaze, a warm and unpretentious aura emerges. Renowned for its thick, soft white finish, the glaze subtly contracts at high temperatures, forming delicate crawling textures that resemble lightly cracked snow or the marks of time. Where the flames have kissed the surface, they leave behind orange-red fire marks, each imperfection a unique imprint of the wood-firing process. The bowl's form is substantial, with a slightly irregular rim, adding a touch of wabi-sabi tactility and tranquility. Whether used for savoring tea or placed as a靜置 (jìng zhì - still placement) on a desk, it emanates a simple, elegant, and serene beauty.
