Stilted and fired, this Oribe Ware beauty was fired in an electric kiln. After firing this yunomi to cone 6, the edges of the shell imprints were ground down. The residual slaked lime was scraped out, and the shells were brushed with a brass brush giving the impressions a metallic sheen. Ryan Coppage and Julia Krichev’s “Oribe Ware” is full of history and contemporary approaches to the 16–17th-century Japanese ceramics style.
