15th Simple Cup

Tomomi Shinohara 02 - bottle + two cups


Turkish glazed bottle (Kintsugi applied) (a) & Sakazuki Sake cup (b/c)

The clay and the porcelain clay blend. Wheel throwing. The blight blue glaze is the original blend using copper.

The pure gold was applied as Kintsugi to the spot, where the glaze has been popped in the kiln. Kintsugi is the technique of restoration but is also an unique Japanese culture that revives vessels more beautifully.
