Crafted by master potter Baba Shinemon, this cinnabar cup showcases the complexity of traditional reduction-fired glazing. The distinctive deep red hue emerges through careful copper oxide reduction, a technique that demands precise kiln control and expertise. Each piece varies subtly in tone and depth—a hallmark of authentic handcrafted ceramics where firing conditions, glaze composition, and kiln atmosphere create unique results. This is not mass-produced uniformity, but rather the refined character of a Nitten artist's work, where every variation speaks to the potter's skill and the glaze's sophisticated nature.
