Kiyomizu-Yaki Is A Type Of Japanese Pottery That Traditionally Comes From The Gojozaka District Near Kiyomizu-Dera Temple In Kyoto, Japan. Kiyomizu-Yaki Is A Subset Of Kyo-Yaki And Refers To All Pottery Made In The Kyoto Region, Kiyomizu-Yaki Has Been Produced Since The 16Th Century

The Term “Tenme” Can Refer To Two Things: The Shape Of The Bowl, Which Is A Cone Shape, With Finger-Shaped Grooves And A Flared Lip; And A Dark, High-Iron Glaze That Can Produce A Variety Of Beautiful Effects Under The Correct Firing Conditions. Both Originated From The Architectural Porcelain Of Fujian In China’S Song Dynasty , And The Dark Color Of The Glaze Was Praised For Its Contrast With The Foam Of Stirred Tea.

Most Tenmoku Glazes Are Simply Black, And Sometimes The Glaze Recipe And Kiln Conditions Are Just Right, Causing The Ash In The Glaze To Separate From The Iron, Creating A Beautiful Metallic Effect Like The One Seen On This Mug , Called “Yuteki” Which Means “Grey Spot”.

This Cup Is Made By Tanaka Nagasaki. Mr. Tanaka Was Born In 1950 And Specializes In Yuteki Tenme Products.
