Strange Situations - November 2009

Mino Blacks One

November 21st 2009 22:51


MINO BLACKS


You will have heard of Shino and Oribe if you have been following this blog regularly (if not please consider subscribing) and know SHINO uses a feldspathic glaze that turns anything from clear to white to reds in combination with various slips and clays. Oribe is sometimes partially white.

So I've shown you MINO whites but did you know those clever innovative Mino kiln masters also developed wonderful glossy blacks?

Setoguro predates RAKU and then there's Oribeguro and Kuro-Oribe.


However before Setoguro and other glossy blacks were developed the closest thing to a gloosy black was clear glaze over an iron slip that often fired gray or the Jian / Temmoku Glaze Iron rich glaze which was just as likely to fire sepia or dark brown or speckled!

Temmoku as the Jpanese call it originated in China form the Jian kilns.

Temmoku teabowls were made at Mino and elsewhere in Japan.

Working with temmoku seems to have lead to Setoguro.
