"Why so pleasant, drinking tea?
Life's great lesson's is simplicity."
This is the 4th tea-bowl I'm giving away as part of an art performance.
The Shino here has almost no variation caused by the fire, is only lightly reduced, and seems sagar-fired, or from a gas firing.
Lan Ma, a student in Plymouth, in Devon England, chose this one.

You can tell this piece is wood-fired. The crystals that formed near the lip, were caused by ash.
Most wood-fire results show a lot of ash deposition, which makes one side of a pot or bowl very different from the other.
So it's a welcome surprise when something turns out simply, like a bride who walks through fire without getting soot on her dress.
