{"product_id":"p2905","title":"Ibe Shuten","description":"This new Ibe sake cup is the work of Mashiro Aiga, an artist known for creating works that are consistently straightforward and full of character. He has used a clay rich in iron content, applying a slip coating to create a rich, black-purple appearance reminiscent of boiled-down purple pigment. He placed pieces of fire-resistant clay around the vessel like screens to deflect the ash during the firing process, resulting in a luxurious, deep coating of \"sesame\" (ash glaze) centered on an inverted triangular motif. This rich, mustard-colored ash glaze changes its texture from one area to the next, ranging from a melon-like skin to a smooth, well-melted surface, perfectly reflecting the artist's intense dedication to the firing process.\n\nSigned box to be provided at a later date (please allow some time for delivery)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.0cm x Diameter 6.6cm x Height 5.2cm\n\nMashiro Aiga graduated from the Okayama Prefectural Bizen Pottery Center in 1997.
