Makimasa Imai
Gray Glazed Tea Bowl
This is a matcha tea bowl that gives you the flavor of ash glaze.
This work was fired in a wood-fired kiln using traditional techniques, so the flow of the flames and changes in temperature have created subtle hues in the work.
The power of the natural wood flames has brought out the characteristics of the ceramic clay to the maximum, giving the work a deep finish.
All customers who purchase this work online will receive a 40g can of Matcha “Yugen” manufactured by Marukyu-Koyamaen.
