Rounded Sculpted Oak Ash Glaze Guinomi

£55⁰⁰

Unlike many of Hiraoka san's other gunomi, these ones use a lighter clay which shows off the pale oak ash glaze to its best. There are iron impurities in the clay which push out in dark rust-coloured spots, but the eye is drawn into the light blue centre characteristic of oak ash glazes.

Handmade by Hiraoka san at his kiln near Mashiko in Central Japan

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.
