Yutekitenmokuyu Guinomi (油滴天目釉ぐい呑)
This is a Kyoto ware cup which Takemura-san has created.
He uses the glaze called "gantesu doseki", it's soil with rich iron.
The spotted black color comes out in the kiln and that caused the cup to make a change.

Takemura-san is a ceramicist who engages in creative activities in Yamashina-ku, Kyoto prefecture. It’s interesting that color changes depending on settings, temperature and a part of plants, though same glaze is used.
