{"product_id":"oribe-pearled-cliff","title":"Oribe Pearled Cliff","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Oribe piece is a bold, expressive statement by Iga ware artist Fukushima Kazuhiro. Strikingly textural, its planes of clay reach upward like a living cliff face, while a thick, inwardly curving opening suggests the mouth of a cave. A single thin area on the rim offers a natural place to rest the lips, drawing the gaze into the depths of the rocky cavern within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite clusters seem to push through the surface where feldspar, a raw material of glaze, is applied thickly. As the piece is fired, the glaze contracts unevenly against the clay, pulling apart to reveal a cracked, textured surface. This deliberate effect, known as \u003cem\u003ekairagi\u003c\/em\u003e, transforms the natural separation of clay and glaze into a striking mountainscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Oribe and three other glazes pool around the fractured textures, suggesting how water flows or how plant life stretches across the earth. Small pinholes known as \u003cem\u003eishihaze\u003c\/em\u003e appear where stones within the clay body have risen to the surface. The glaze accents the clay beneath without hiding it, revealing the organic expressiveness of the material itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFukushima skillfully maneuvers the unpredictable forces of the wood-fired \u003cem\u003eanagama \u003c\/em\u003ekiln’s ash and flames into something intentional, creating the one-of-a-kind convergence of factors that birthed this creation. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mukaigama","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46665292218557,"sku":"MKG0031","price":2457.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/260323_MKG0031_SMK_080.jpg?v=1777270940","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/oribe-pearled-cliff","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
