Chatsubo, tea caddy

Josef turned this ochre stoneware vessel on a potter's wheel, and heavy ash was used to create the decorative glaze. The pot was fired in an anagama kiln at 1280°C. This type of kiln was brought to Japan from China in the 5th century; it consists of a firing chamber at one end, with a flue and chimney at the other.
