Seihakuji Mentori Coffee Wansara (青白磁面取珈琲碗皿)

This is an Arita ware cup & saucer which Jun-san has created.
He made the jar on a potter’s wheel.
Shaving the surface had the sides faceted.
He added the engraved lines design to the saucer.
That's beautiful because of a sense of unity that respective lines are drawing on the cup and saucer.

Seihakuji (青白磁)
It's one kind of hakuji, there's the pale blue-green color caused by subtle amount of iron.
The transparent color that blends into nature is really impressive on the whole.
It's all started with baked works in China.
The glaze containing iron turns to light blue by reduction firing.
