Gosu Glaze Guinomi

£47⁰⁰

Gosu is the name for a cobalt underglaze in Japanese: black in its natural form, it turns a deep rich blue after reduction firing. These are a lovely size, not too small, to handle and use as sake cups.

Care Guide

Like all tableware and handmade homewares, our products should be used with some degree of care to help keep them looking good. These are fired at a high temperature but Hiraoka san recommends handwashing and not putting in the dishwasher or microwave.

Hiraoka Jin

Hiraoka san's work has a sculptural roughness to it and is often combined with a crackle glaze for maximum effect - or with one of the vibrant blue wood ash glazes which is becoming a signature of his.

Hiraoka san is great company, chatting about football, cars or dogs, and his cheerful demeanour comes through in his hand-made ceramics.
