Did you Know?

Tenmoku is one of the oldest and most revered glaze traditions in ceramics, originating in Song Dynasty China (960–1279 AD) and later adopted by Japanese potters who prized its deep iron-rich tones for tea ceremony wares. The characteristic dark brown-to-black glaze with russet or cream pooling effects is achieved by firing iron-rich glazes at high temperatures in a reduction atmosphere. In mid-century studio pottery, Tenmoku-inspired glazes became a hallmark of potters drawn to the Mingei — Japanese folk craft — philosophy of beauty in functional, handmade objects.
