{"product_id":"p6273","title":"Green Shino Tea Cup","description":"This is a new green Shino teacup by Takashi Baba, who was born in Imbe and has loved Bizen ware since childhood, finding his life's joy in creating works and firing kilns.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis piece was taken from the kiln around April 2021; it is a unique creation made by applying Shino glaze to Shino clay and firing it in a Bizen climbing kiln.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhile the base follows the traditions of Shino ware, the overlapping effects of the climbing kiln firing result in a new series that offers infinite variations to enjoy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBaba varies the type of cobalt for each piece, resulting in a green coloration—true to the \"Green Shino\" name—that one might momentarily mistake for Oribe ware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFurthermore, in areas where the glaze was applied thickly, glaze drips have formed, creating a texture where light blue and white hues blend together like a melting sky.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe orthodox form, combined with the texture of the glaze, makes this piece very easy to use.\n\nNo box included (*a paulownia wood box can be made separately)\nDiameter 9.3cm × 8.9cm × Height 8.4cm\n\nTakashi Baba was born in 1983 as the eldest son of Bizen ware artist Shosuke Baba.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHaving thought since early childhood that he would become a potter, he chose to study sculpture in university to broaden the scope of his ceramic work.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2006, he graduated from the Sculpture Department of Tokyo University of the Arts and then honed his skills at the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Technology and Culture.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe became independent in 2007 and held his first solo exhibition.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHe is currently active mainly through solo exhibitions at department stores.","brand":"馬場隆志","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46618714832993,"sku":"6273","price":9900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9916\/8865\/files\/6273.jpg?v=1790241014","url":"https:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/en\/products\/p6273","provider":"川口陶楽苑","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
