It had been a while, but then i had the urge to unwrap an old package.
a 1997 acquisition from bizen.
a 6500 yen purchase for this beer drinking vessel of awesomeness.
the ribbed profile shows the slowness of the wheel as well as the deliberateness of the hand.
stories told:
the bursting of the skin tells of the materials used in the clay making process.
the light ash dusting informs of the firing.
i am not sure but i think this mark is from a piece of straw made laid on the bottom the vessel before firing.
purpose filled.
purpose being fulfilled.
