Oribe-yaki (織部焼) is a style of Japanese pottery known for being decorated with abstract designs and splashes of free-flowing vibrant green or deep black glaze. Each piece is hand-formed to create a one of a kind shape. It first appeared in the sixteenth century. Throughout Japan's tea ceremony culture, a common purpose is to pursue the natural state of beauty. Thus you will often see teacups and ceramics formed using natural and coarse clay at first. Mixed with different styles of ancient and modern times, you can see the evolution and tradition of these kilns. Dimension: 3.18"(W) x 3.58"(H) Capacity: 11oz / 325ml Origin: Japan Handwash
