This one-of-a-kind tea bowl by artist Ginny Marsh is inspired by wabi-sabi (finding beauty in imperfection). This glaze is a favorite of Ginny’s because it is created to stain and add character the more you use it so after a few years it’ll take on it’s own unique look you helped create and becomes a true heirloom piece.

Shino glaze, a term for a family of pottery glazes, ranges in color from milky white to orange, sometimes with grey spots known as “carbon traps,” which trap the carbon in the glaze during firing.
