Each piece is shaped by hand from local clay and fired with no glaze and no painted decoration, so the clay itself speaks. Fired with pine wood for 7-10 days at over 1,200 °C, it becomes a hard, dense stoneware - and no two pieces are ever alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fired surface — yaki\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"design\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithout glaze, every colour and pattern comes from how flame, ash and charcoal touch the piece in the kiln. Potters call these natural effects keshiki - “landscapes”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- 窯変（Yōhen）: Buried in charcoal on the kiln floor, away from flame and air, the clay turns grey, dark grey or bluish.\u003cbr\u003e- 胡麻（Goma）: Pine ash settles on the piece like sesame seeds; where it melts and runs, it is called tamadare.\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e棧切\u003c\/span\u003e（Sangiri）: Where ash and charcoal cut off the air, grey to blue-black tones form against the redbrown clay.\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e緋襷（Hidasuki）: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eStraw wrapped around the piece reacts with iron in the clay, leaving \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003escarlet lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"design\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"design\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"design\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFeaturing the best in Japanese and British design, (ki:ts) is the perfect spot for gift shopping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"design\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"caption\"\u003e\u003cspan value=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"design\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"tabs\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(ki:ts) London shop\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"tabs\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e31A Duke Street London W1U 1LS United Kingdom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"(ki:ts)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57447032619386,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/9686\/5863\/files\/Toukichi_PouringVessel_front_H960.jpg?v=1792673525","url":"https:\/\/kits-london.com\/products\/bizen-pouring-vessel-toukichi","provider":"(ki:ts)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
