This Mino-yaki Nezumi Shino chawan (matcha bowl) features a stunning blue-grey and orange shino glaze, called nezumi-shino (鼠志野 - mouse-coloured shino) or haiiro-shino (灰色志野 - ash-coloured shino). The pinhole texture is typical of Shino ware and is called suana or yuzuhada.

Made by Katou Hideyama (加藤秀山). 

First appearing during the tea ceremony craze of the Momoyama Period in the 16th century, Shino ware or Shino-yaki (志野) was an instant hit, being the first white glaze produced in Japan. Its white surface served as a blank canvas, allowing artisans to paint decorations on bowls, which was previously quite rare for pottery produced in Japan. Unlike the the smooth porcelain of China, Shino glazed pieces often have a surface that is textured with pinholes, called 'suana' (nest holes) or 'yuzuhada' (yuzu skin) in Japanese. Declining in popularity in the Edo period, Shino ware has since seen a revival and is one of the most recognisable glazes from Japan, and can now be found in orange, pink, and blue, in addition to the classic white.
