{"product_id":"iga-sometsuke-medium-bowl","title":"Iga Sometsuke Medium Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis medium bowl features two shallow folds along the rim that break up its circular outline. Combined with the raised foot, they give the vessel a profile that changes as it is turned in the hand. The substantial body is lifted slightly above the table, creating a form that appears both grounded and open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center, a pool of vidro glaze settles into a tightly woven network of \u003cem\u003ekannyu\u003c\/em\u003e crackles. Around it, shades of blue descend from the rim in uneven streaks before dissolving into the pale surface below. While \u003cem\u003esometsuke\u003c\/em\u003e is traditionally associated with porcelain, the \u003cem\u003egosu\u003c\/em\u003e cobalt takes on a different character here, meeting coarse stoneware. Small feldspar inclusions and tiny pinholes remain visible throughout, recording the effects of fire on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeaded by Fukushima Kazuhiro, Mukai Kiln draws upon inherited materials and techniques while continuing to seek new possibilities within them. His apprenticeship under Koie Ryoji, training abroad, and eventual return to his roots have shaped the kiln's willingness to bring together elements not usually encountered side by side. During the extended firing of an \u003cem\u003eanagama\u003c\/em\u003e, a wood-fired kiln where flame and ash move freely through a single chamber, each vessel responds differently to its surroundings. Though fired alongside the other pieces in this series, the bowl develops a landscape all its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mukaigama","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":46814314528957,"sku":"MKG0016","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/260618_scenecut_SUZ.16.jpg?v=1782109319","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/de\/products\/iga-sometsuke-medium-bowl","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
