This Porcelain Hand Thrown Fish Vintage Jar showcases exquisite craftsmanship, wood-fired in a traditional Japanese Anagama kiln. Its elegant textures and subtle natural variations embody refined artistry, making it a distinguished addition to any sophisticated collection or interior.
A Japanese wooden fire kiln, most commonly the anagama ("cave kiln"), is a long, tunnel-shaped kiln built into a slope or hillside, using firewood as fuel to produce heat up to 1400°C. Wood ash and volatile salts are deposited onto the pottery, creating unique, natural ash glaze effects. The slow and intense firing process could last for several days and requires constant attention from several potters, with the unpredictable interaction of flame, ash, and clay producing one-of-a-kind pieces.
