Bizen Pot

colors of nature born out of fire - autumn on my pot

This vase is a type of gray bizen, a speciality of Mondo. It was fired in the large noborigama, the kiln on a hillside, and it takes 10 days to fire it. The orange is the direct reflection of the flames passing past the pot, as it lays sidewise during the firing.

Only very few pieces can be obtained in one kiln with this procedure.

I have written more details about Bizen Pottery.
