This hira-gata Ao-Oribe chawan (matcha bowl) features a wide and shallow shape, perfect for allowing tea to cool in the summer. It is glazed in a finely crazed light cream, accented by abstract iron underpainting and splashes of green glaze that shifts towards verdigris as it pools and drips.

Made by Mino potter, Noda Asanoshin (野田浅之進), who makes pottery under the name Noda Higashiyama (野田東山) of the Nagaso Kiln (長曽窯).

Oribe-yaki (織部焼) is a type of Japanese pottery known for its free flowing glazes and asymmetrical, hand-formed shapes. Dating in the late 16th century, Oribe ware takes its name from legendary tea master Furuta Oribe (古田 織部) who is believed to have played a large part in its development. Oribe wares are decorated with abstract designs and splashes of free-flowing vibrant green or deep black glaze. With these distorted shapes and novel decorations, Oribe-yaki exudes a charm that matches Furuta Oribe’s philosophy of hyouge (へうげ) or playfulness. One of the most popular styles of Oribe ware is Ao-Oribe or Green Oribe, which is decorated with geometric patterns painted with an iron glaze and then partially covered in a vibrant green copper-sulfate glaze which contrasts against the light background.
