Shino ware, first made in Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, features a thick white feldspar glaze with iron-based painted patterns. Its unique texture, called “yuzu-hada” or “kairagi” and thin-glaze crimson highlights add depth.
Nezumishino ware showcases designs painted with iron oxide under the glaze, producing a bold contrast between the white scraped sections and the reddish-brown or grayish-brown areas revealed after firing.
The plate's surface displays a pattern in white glaze that seems suspended just below the glaze layer. Its rim and the pinholes show a burnt brown coloration, which gives the texture a gentle gray shade. This work exemplifies the unique warmth typical of Shino ware.
