{"product_id":"p2572","title":"Ibe gourd-shaped sake bottle","description":"This is a new Ibe gourd-shaped sake bottle by Masashiro Aiga, an artist who creates works that are unfailingly straightforward and have real backbone. With a surface color somewhere between black and purple, reminiscent of a reduction of red wine, it is a piece that fascinates the viewer even without special ornamentation. The three-dimensional \"goma\" (ash glaze) perfectly matches the rich earthy texture, and it is wonderful how small grains gather and rise to create a refined scorched-ash effect. The more you look at it, the more you appreciate the craftsmanship; it possesses an elegance that keeps it from becoming tiresome, despite its intense scenery.\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (please allow some time for shipping)\u003cbr\u003e\nMouth rim 3.0cm x Body diameter 9.0cm x Body diameter 9.0cm x Height 15.1cm Capacity approx. 330cc\n\nMasashiro Aiga graduated from the Okayama Prefectural Bizen Ceramic Center in 1997.
