Grey-Blue Momigara Tokkuri

£5800

Momigara is a refined rice husk ash glaze where the stalks and leaves of the rice are excluded and it ranges in colour from yellow to white to bright blue. In this reduction firing they have hints of blue, green, brown and grey, and you will notice that Iwami san leaves the spur marks (where the piece was supported in the kiln) visible to add context to each hand-made, wood-fired piece.

These are sold individually, the group shot shows the range of colour variation. If you are interested in a particular piece, please let us know before purchasing. There is some variation in sizes, so if exact dimensions or capacity are important, please also double-check.

  • 15.0cm High, 8.0cm Wide, 8.0cm Long

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 wood-fired, often unglazed ceramics, and Iwami san recommends handwashing only and not putting in the dishwasher or microwave.

Meet the Maker:

Tobo Yukari Gama

Shinsuke Iwami studied oil painting at university but became a salaryman after graduation. Soon disillusioned with the life of a salaryman, he quit to make pottery despite having no previous experience.

He prefers natural glazes which are unpredictable and inconsistent, so each time he empties the kiln he can enounter unexpected colours and effects. His work is often textured and mysterious, with an organic and elemental feel.

A cheerful, chatty and inquisitive man, he also frequently travels to the Danish island of Bornholm to make and be inspired by the community of artists there.
