[Japanese ancient art] ancient firewood kiln pottery pot tea pot water finger

The firewood firing technique is a highly artistic pottery technique. Its production process is complicated and requires a potter with profound pottery skills and experience. It is mainly fired with firewood as fuel, which makes the surface of pottery present a unique texture and color. During the firewood firing process, the kiln where the pottery is placed needs to go through several steps of slowly heating up and cooling down, so as to ensure that the pottery undergoes appropriate temperature changes to obtain the desired effect. In addition to the natural gray glaze on the surface, this pottery pot is covered with transparent glaze inside, so it is very suitable for storing tea leaves or as water fingers (water tanks in Japanese tea ceremony)!
