A note on the glaze: Glossy, opulent, and deep, with this piece you can feel that you are holding something truly remarkable. This premium, sought-after crimson hue gives luxury and decadence, yielding only to the stark, contrasting black accents and contours. From the maker, “red glazes, such as those used for the eyes and lips of ceramic dolls for a little bit of red, are very precious and expensive. The glaze is generally not used in large quantities, but ‘Noble Red’ uses it as a base. The result is a red glaze that is unique to Japan.”
Founded in 1646, the Omuro Kiln was founded to serve Ninnaji Temple of the Omuro Imperial Palace in Kyoto, Japan. Ninnaji is famous for its Omuro Sakura (cherry blossoms) and is a UNESCO world heritage site. The Ninshu brand preserves the handmade ceramic traditions of the Omuro Kiln as the current kilnmaster appointed by Ninnaji Temple. Enjoy these handmade pieces and their subtle differences and glazes ranging from subdued to vibrant and eye-catching. Use these to enhance your coffee, tea, sake, shochu, and beer-drinking experience all while holding a piece of Kyoto’s handmade ceramic tradition.
