{"product_id":"p3312","title":"Ibe Tokkuri","description":"This is a new Ibe tokkuri (sake bottle) by Mashiro Aiga, an artist known for creating works that are consistently straightforward and full of character. While it is an Ibe-te piece coated in iron-rich clay, the focus is on highlighting the delicate natural gradations of the clay itself, resulting in a base texture reminiscent of melted chocolate, complemented by various colors including wine-red gradients. The rich wine-red gradation, which only Aiga-sensei can achieve, is truly magnificent, creating a depth of surface so exquisite that one feels as if the skin might melt away upon touch. Combined with a luster that appears almost damp and fine-grained \"tobi-goma\" (sprinkled sesame ash glaze), the result is a complete \"Mashiro World\" where intense firing meets a melting clay texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/blog\/2014\/11\/newaika001.html\"\u003eView blog post related to this sake bottle\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nSigned wooden box to follow (please allow some time for shipping).\u003cbr\u003e\nMouth diameter 3.9cm × Body diameter 9.0cm × Body diameter 8.9cm × Height 13.2cm Capacity approx. 400cc\n\nMashiro Aiga graduated from the Okayama Prefectural Bizen Pottery Center in 1997.
