{"product_id":"p5770","title":"Bizen tea cup","description":"This Bizen tea cup is the work of Tamon Kaneshige, who continues to hone his skills on the demanding path of pottery as the son of the late Makoto Kaneshige. True to the Kaneshige family tradition of meticulously preparing their own clay before use, this piece displays a superb, deeply evocative earthen hue. The bright brown tone of the clay is overlaid with a lustrous sheen—a hallmark of *hizen* firing—creating a finish that resembles melting milk chocolate. The surface is further textured with fine sand particles, adding depth to the rich, viscous quality of the clay. The base features a *hidasuki* (fire-cord) mark used to prevent fusion in the kiln, with its orange-toned hue providing a beautifully rustic contrast against the grey surface.\n\nSigned wooden box (two-slat lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.2cm × 7.1cm × Height 11.5cm\n\nTamon Kaneshige was born in Okayama City in 1977.
