Pouring Vessel with Silver Crane Motif b

This pouring vessel features an elegant crane, depicted in quiet repose against a deep black glaze. Cranes are symbols of longevity and good fortune, and this piece embodies a distinctly Japanese aesthetic, promising to bring a sense of calm and tranquility to your tea time. Crafted from Shigaraki clay on a potter's wheel, this pouring vessel is adorned with cranes rendered in silver and liquid rubber, then fired multiple times with a final glaze. The cranes are expressed with a rich depth, highlighted by the silver and the earthy texture of the clay. To accentuate the silver cranes, an additional glaze is applied over the black pigment, creating a sense of weight and dimension. The interior is also glazed, and the tea strainer holes are meticulously and finely perforated. It pours smoothly with excellent drip-free performance, and the lid fits snugly with a well-grounded seal. This is a rare piece, fired at a higher temperature than usual and completed over time to allow the glaze and clay to meld beautifully. It makes a wonderful gift for celebrations, entertaining guests, or for someone special. You can also enjoy how its depth deepens with continued use.
