AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Highlights:
Three Colours, One Glaze: Grey-white with iron spots, soft blue-grey with speckles, and warm peachy-pink – see the full spectrum of Shino's famous unpredictability in one affordable set.
Learn by Comparison: Three different forms and firing effects side by side – the ideal way to train your eye and understand what makes Shino special.
Ready to Collect: Two pieces with original signed wooden boxes (tomobako) – authentic provenance and a gentle introduction to serious Japanese ceramic collecting.
Summary:
Starting a Japanese ceramic collection can feel daunting: which style? which artist? where to begin? This trio of Shino guinomi answers all three questions at once. Shino is one of Japan's most beloved glaze traditions – famous for its soft, milky surface and its magical unpredictability. The same glaze can emerge from the kiln in completely different colours depending on flame, temperature, and chance. This set captures that beautiful variety: one piece in pale grey-white scattered with rust spots, another in cool blue-grey, and a third glowing in warm peachy tones. Together, they tell Shino's story in miniature. Two come with signed wooden boxes, giving you documented authenticity and teaching you how Japanese collectors verify and preserve ceramics. Whether you display them as a collection, use them for sake, or simply study them to develop your eye, this trio offers exceptional value and a solid foundation for future growth. Perfect for the beginner who wants to start well.
