Shino

14 Oct.

Haptic and optical delicacies.

Shino refers to a type of ceramic that originated in Japan in the 16th century and is still highly valued today for its tactile and optical properties. Shino glaze is a white feldspar glaze that is applied in a thick covering layer over the body (term for a fired ceramic mass). Typical of Shino ceramics is the soft-looking, pinprick-like to coarse-pored surface comparable to lemon skin.
