Burnished, Five

Hand-formed・Wood-fired unglazed stoneware・160ml

This small pot is a more modern rendition of a classic xishi pot, with a graceful spout and handle. Seven outlets arranged in a hexagonal pattern for drainage.

Unglazed stoneware, using a blend of Taiwanese and Japanese clay, then fired in a wood-burning kiln for five days. This pot was pre-seasoned by the artist.

Usage and care: Hand-wash with water only.
