Ryukyu Kingdom Tsuboya Ware White Slip Cup
ARCHIVEDA sake cup fired in the Tsuboya kiln at the end of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The curvy shape with opened lip is moulded with reddish-brown clay. A graceful transparent glaze is applied to the entire body over a white slip.
The white slip technique began to use in earnest at Tsuboya kilns in the first half of the 19th century and has been a representative technique of the kiln until now. This piece has been handed down as a sake cup for many years, and the layers of cloud-like stains occurred, making the lustrous surface even more tasteful.
There are no conspicuous flaws other than a very minor glaze flaking on the lip. It comes with a box.
