{"product_id":"tb427-shino-yaki-kogo-box-香合","title":"TB427 - Shino-yaki Kōgō Box 香合","description":"\u003cp\u003eA charming vintage Japanese kōgō with a inner chip, a small lidded container traditionally used to hold incense during the Japanese tea ceremony. This piece is crafted in the rustic spirit of Shino-yaki (志野焼), a celebrated ceramic tradition associated with the Mino pottery region of Gifu Prefecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box has a beautifully simple, almost pebble-like form, with softly faceted sides and a gently domed lid. Its surface is covered in a pale greyish-white glaze, displaying delicate crackling, subtle variations in tone, and scattered iron-rich speckles. Along the meeting point of the lid and body, the warm reddish-brown clay is left visible, creating a lovely contrast with the cool glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShino ware developed in the Mino region during the late 16th century and became closely connected with the culture of chanoyu (茶の湯), the Japanese tea ceremony. Traditionally recognised for its thick feldspathic glazes, softly irregular forms and warm firing effects, Shino pottery celebrates surfaces that are never completely uniform. Each piece acquires its own character through the interaction of clay, glaze and kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its understated shape and subdued glaze, this vintage piece is a lovely example of Japanese ceramic aesthetics—equally appealing as a tea ceremony object, incense container, small trinket box, or collectible piece of Japanese pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 6 x 6 x 4cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58596264804683,"sku":"TC427","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_c99eeadd-57e9-4d31-b315-11525bd1f12b.jpg?v=1790343745","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/products\/tb427-shino-yaki-kogo-box-%e9%a6%99%e5%90%88","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
