Description
This is a Bizen black sake cup by Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki, who continues to lead the Bizen ware world with an inexhaustible creative power. The glossy black surface, fired by absorbing plenty of smoke, is deeply flavorful. The "kake-wake" technique is used, where the base clay is partially visible without applying the slip over the entire surface, and the earthy texture appears at the border where it meets the sesame glaze. Shell marks with clear shell lines also serve as a spice that enhances the black surface.
