The yoshida pottery's bowl contains small cracks in the glass called intrusion.
This is a pattern that occurs due to the difference in the shrinkage rate when both the soil and glaze used shrink during firing.
This intrusion is also famous for works such as celadon porcelain, which was revered in ancient China.
When used, the color penetrates this intrusion, creating a unique landscape.
Even if you use coffee, tea, or Japanese tea, the scenery will change, and if you add vegetables that have a strong color, such as eggplant, the color will change to purple.
We hope you enjoy the scenery created in this way.
