Waste water receptacle for tea ceremony, oke
This brown stoneware receptacle, intended for waste water of the tea ceremony, was shaped by hand before being fired in an Anagama kiln at 1,340°C. The container's colour and surface effects derive from hot ash during the four-day firing process. In the heat, ash fuses onto the clay to form a natural glaze. Smoke, flames and embers leave their mark in the form of grey, red and deep blue tones.
