Pourer 10.5cm / Storm Glaze

1. The Storm Glaze Pourer is a fine example of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship. Made from Minoyaki porcelain, a type of ceramic produced in the Gifu Prefecture for over 1,300 years, this pourer is both functional and visually unique. Its distinctive storm glaze, featuring a combination of deep blue and contrasting whites, is created through a traditional firing process, where the glaze patterns form organically, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.

   About the Storm Glaze Finish:
   The storm glaze technique involves layering different glazes and controlling the kiln atmosphere to create a dynamic, cloud-like effect. This glaze pattern is reflective of the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of wabi-sabi, which embraces the beauty in imperfection and transience. The swirling colors and subtle speckling capture the essence of a stormy sky, adding depth and visual interest to this compact piece. The result is a glaze that feels alive, with variations that highlight the unpredictable nature of ceramic artistry.
