Setoyaki Benishino Maccha Bowl (Aichi Prefecture, Setoyaki)
Shino ware is a type
of Japanese pottery most identifiable for thick white glazes, red scorch marks,
and texture of small holes. It is one of the Mino styles from the late 16th century
and is based on older Setoyaki with changes to shape, decoration, and finish.
Forms
are usually squat and cylindrical, thick but lightweight. Pieces can be grey,
red, or white, painted with iron oxide or decorated with glaze.
Firings of
Shino tend to be of lower temperature for a longer period of time, and then a
slow cooling process.
These conditions do not allow the glaze to melt fully,
and the result is a thick glaze that often has a crawling pattern.
