Setoyaki Oribe Maccha Bowl (Aichi Prefecture, Setoyaki)
Oribe ware is a type
of Japanese pottery most identifiable for its use of green copper glaze and bold
painted design. It was the first use of colored stoneware glaze by Japanese potters.
As
one of the Mino styles originating in the late 16th century it takes its name
from tea master Furuta Oribe (1544-1615).
The clay body has a high-iron content
and is formed by hand, on a potter’s wheel, or by drape molding. The surface of
Oribe is painted with lively surface designs, which may be natural effects, geometric
patterns, or a combination of the two. For the brilliant green color, wares are
fired in oxidation at 1220 degrees Celsius.
