I'm still a dilettante at this, but I'm pretty proud of this piece.. white clay, i threw it and trimmed in myself.. transparent glaze outside, oribe green glaze on the inside.. the oribe has copper in it, hence the awesome metallic finish at the base of the bowl..
Note the consistent hairline crack lattice in the external glaze.. and note especially, if you would, the consistent wave finish present over the whole of the piece.. that's a grinding technique that isn't easy, but came to me naturally. So that was fun.
I also like my idea for a signature stand-in, the semicircle of dark red on the underside.
My "hometown" in Japan is one of the two most famous sites for Japanese pottery.. this "oribe green" is a local invention and highly regarded.. and on top of it all, i get to do this training in a fantastic ceramics museum atelier designed by the 2019 pritzker prize winner!
