CHARCOAL BOTTLE

A ceramic vase made by Mai Tagawa.
A charming piece with the gentle shape and gradation of black color. This fine color is created by carbonization and fuming process. The ceramic piece and rice bran are placed in a lidded ceramic box and fired. The bran burns and carbon attaches to the surface, turning the surface black. Although firing with rice husks is the most common method, the maker says that rice bran produces a finish that better matches her expression.
