Characteristics and recommended points of Shigaraki ware bowls
■Characteristics of Shigaraki ware
1． Simple taste due to the texture of the earth
Because it is baked without glazing, the surface has a unique texture.
Furthermore, the beautiful reddish-brown color that is said to be scarlet due to firing, and the unique finish due to the vidro glaze and charring on the surface are attractive.
2． Thick
It is thick and durable because it is covered with a lot of glaze.
The rim is also thick, so it has a gentle texture.
3． Many are plain colors
Shigaraki ware, which has an attractive flavor due to changes in firing and glaze, is often plain in color.
Therefore, it goes well with a wide range of menus, and is easy to coordinate with other utsuwa.
