Japanese Ceramics | Shigaraki Vase | Bridge Kuro
The most unique characteristic of Shigaraki ware is how the coarse clay soil makes it take on a pink, red, or sometimes even a reddish-brown hue after being fired. This is a natural occurrence that happens due to the mineral content, such as iron, in the soil.
Apart from that, in general, Shigaraki ware is unique in how the firing process changes its appearance. For example, it can take on a glassy coating from the wood ashes of the fire that fall onto it, as well as turn a burnt brown when completely surrounded by firewood ashes.
