This is a work by the predecessor and first-generation master of Sh inemon Kiln, Sh inichiro Baba (posthumously Sh inemon), one of the representative kilns of Arita ware.
As one of the late potter’s posthumous works, this piece had long la in dormant in storage and has only now, after the passage of time, come to light. It represents the culm ination of the artist’s mastery and unique aesthetic sensibility, embody ing the p innacle of his artistic journey.
Sh inemon Kiln is renowned as a leader in the yohen technique, which requires exceptional skill in manipulat ing glazes. This work was personally created by the kiln’s first-generation master, Sh inichiro Baba. Yohen refers to the transformations that occur with in the kiln, where glaze colors and patterns change in unpredictable ways, reveal ing natural beauty and mystery.
in this piece, the glaze used is Yuteki Tenmoku (“oil-spot tenmoku”). With in the deep black glaze, countless silvery droplets appear, like stars tw inkl ing in the night sky. These dist inctive crystall ine patterns are formed dur ing the fir ing process of iron glazes, creat ing a metallic luster and unique visual depth. True to its name, the motifs resemble oil drops spread ing across water?a natural art born from the interplay of chance and inevitability. The vessel reveals different expressions depend ing on the angle and the light.
Add ing to its ref inement, the rim is adorned with high-purity gold decoration, lend ing a subdued yet dist inguished brilliance. This delicate embellishment enhances the vessel’s overall presence, offer ing an elegant resonance each time it is held and admired.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
