Pourer Scarlet

This pouring vessel has a tasteful, rounded design with shades of scarlet. This is a piece that allows you to enjoy the rustic warmth and texture of the earth. This pouring vessel is carefully made on a potter's wheel using coarse Shigaraki clay that contains feldspar. The scarlet color that is characteristic of Shigaraki ware is brought out in a gas kiln. The high temperature of the firing causes the coarse Stone in the clay to melt and come to the surface. Each Stone on the surface is polished by hand to a smooth finish so that it fits comfortably in the hand. The inside is glazed and fine tea straining holes are carefully drilled. It is easy to pour and the water drains easily. The lid is also well-ground and fits perfectly. This pouring vessel is extremely difficult to make because the handle is integrated with the body, making it a rare vessel that can only be produced as a work of art. Although care must be taken when handling the pieces, users will enjoy watching the pieces become more familiar to them over time. You can enjoy watching the depth of the color increase as you use it.
