Shino-yaki Chawan with signed wooden boxÂ
Shino ware (Shino-yaki) is originally from Mino Province, now known as Gifu Prefecture. This style of pottery originated during the Momoyama period (1573â1615) but the use of shino glaze is now widespread in both Japan and further abroad.
At the time of it's origin great tea masters who practiced tea ceremony including Sen no Rikyu were enthusiastic about Shino-yaki. These masters set the standards for tea ceremony-ware and thus created a demand for Shino chawan.
Shino glaze is a generic term for a group of potter glazes. They range in colour from off white to orange, often with charcoal grey spotting. This spotting is known as "carbon trap"Â
This grey chawan has the seal of the potter carved at the base of the bowl. The original wooden box with the signature of the potter is also included.Â
