This piece features manganese glaze as a new experiment by Sakai. Through a reduction firing process that expels oxygen, the manganese glaze transforms into a golden hue. Unusually for Sakai's works, a gas kiln is used for this series.

Firing manganese glaze requires delicate precision; even a slight misstep in timing during the smoking process can lead to results far from the intended outcome. The resulting pieces exhibit a metallic sheen reminiscent of aged metal, with hints of black, showcasing Sakai's exceptional sense of balance.

This is a piece that adds elegance to your tea time, perfect for enjoying a leisurely moment.
