Bizen ware sake cup

This is a new Bizen sake cup by Go Kaneshige, who built his kiln in Kukui and continues to research and create pottery. The piece emphasizes "haikaburi" (ash-covered) technique, having been fired while buried in ash inside the kiln. Amidst the overall gray of the ash-covered surface, the yellow "goma" (sesame glaze) and slight glimpses of the clay texture stand out. His earnest style, inherited from his father Michiaki, is also quite appealing. Original signed box to be provided later (please allow some time for shipping)
