Item Description: Ishihaze Guinomi — Japanese Sake Cup with Stone-Burst Feldspathic Glaze A striking and tactilely captivating sake cup (guinomi) exhibiting a dramatic ishihaze ("stone-burst") glaze effect — one of the most prized and visually exciting surface phenomena in Japanese studio ceramics. The entire outer surface is covered in a dense, rounded nodular texture formed when a thick feldspathic glaze contracts and beads up during high-temperature firing, creating a raised, cobblestone-like landscape of pearlescent grey-white bubbles separated by dark iron-rich fissures. Certain areas catch the light with an iridescent, oil-on-water sheen — a hallmark of well-fired ishihaze glazework. The form is robust and hand-built in feeling, with a slightly irregular rim that lends it a natural, wabi character well suited to the tea table or sake ritual. The interior carries the same ishihaze glaze in softer relief, creating a pleasing visual continuity between the inner and outer surfaces. The unglazed footring reveals a dense, sand-textured stoneware body in warm ochre-beige tones, with natural iron flashing at the shoulder of the foot. A mark appears on or near the base — likely an artist's incised signature or seal — though its precise reading has not been established. Size Height: 6 cm Width: 7 cm Depth: 7 cm Weight: 99 g Condition The piece is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs; the ishihaze surface texture is fully intact and shows no loss.
