【Shino Glaze Series】Persimmon Prosperity | Nezumi-Shino Teapot with Persimmon Knob | Capacity: approx. 160cc

The unique Nezumi-Shino glaze features a subtle, warm fire-kissed hue and natural glazing variations, embodying the rustic beauty characteristic of Shino ware. The teapot lid is adorned with two delicately hand-molded persimmons, symbolizing harvest and fulfillment, adding both character and meaning to the piece. It is suitable for tea ceremonies and serves as a refined collectible. The three-dimensional sculpted ornaments, such as the knob, are handcrafted with vivid detail and auspicious symbolism; it functions as a practical tea vessel and serves as an elegant display piece for your tea table when not in use. The glaze used is Shino, originating from Mino, Japan, characterized by a white glaze primarily composed of feldspar. Master artist yuhuayuart applies this specially formulated Shino glaze, resulting in a soft, warm texture with rich layers after firing. Nezumi-Shino is created by applying an iron-bearing slip to the body before the Shino glaze is applied. After firing, the pieces reveal subtle fire-kissed hues that interact with natural glaze variations to produce a gentle grey tone (Nezumi-Shino). The interior features a smooth, Shino-glazed surface. With regular use, fine cracks will gradually develop, creating a 'crackle' effect resembling gold and iron threads. As tea is brewed, the tea color will slowly seep into these lines; crackle patterns typically become visible after about a month, with the color deepening over two to three months, allowing the piece to develop a unique tea-stained patina. Works by yuhuayuart are created for those who cherish detail and focus on the quality of life, transforming every tea-drinking experience into an extension of enjoyment and personal taste.

During the firing process, glaze will flow and distribute naturally, and fine crackles may form due to temperature changes; these are characteristic features of kiln-fired ceramics.

Artist | yuhuayuart Born in 1980, the artist became fascinated with pottery while working on a potter's wheel in junior high school. After completing military service, he moved to Yingge, where he studied under masters Wu Kuo-jung and Wu Chien-tsai, dedicating over twenty years to ceramic art. He has developed the Yohen-Shino, rock-mineral, and Zini-Yunyan series, and successfully recreated Song Dynasty celadon firing techniques. Creative Philosophy Master artist yuhuayuart focuses his work on kiln-transmutation, believing that each piece is a collaboration between the potter and the user across time. Every crack and every layer of color deepens through the owner's daily use, becoming a vessel that embodies the 'beauty of use'—ensuring that tea drinking is not just a simple act, but a continuation of enjoyment and refined taste.
