Shirokake Katakuchi
Shirokake Katakuchi / w13cm x d10cm x h9.5cm
Potter Toru Hatta has a fondness for old and antique wares which is reflected in his own work. The kurokake series is made using iron-rich mud applied to the raw material and wood-fired in an anagama kiln. The results are interesting surfaces and textures that range from smooth to a rough matte across the surface of each piece. (We recommend viewing all the images to see each side of the vessel)
Katakuchi (spouted bowls) can be used for serving sake or on the table as a serving vessel for sauces or other foods.
