Sake vessel, celadon inlaid with leaf pattern a

This is a beautiful inlaid sake cup hand-carved with leaves from plants in the pottery studio's garden. This is a beautiful piece with intricate inlay, a clear deep green color, and fine crazing. This work is a sake cup made on a potter's wheel, and after applying white mud to the entire surface and letting it blend in, the sketch is drawn. The excess is carefully scraped off, then the piece is slowly dried, bisque fired, glazed, and finally fired. It takes a great deal of time to complete this piece. It has just the right thickness, feels good on the palate, and fits comfortably in the hand. It can be used not only as a sake cup, but also as a container for other dishes. This is a piece that would make a great gift. You can enjoy watching the crazing increase as you use it.
