Shino mukozuke bowl with grass design

Height 6.9 cm, mouth diameter 11.7-11.7 cm, bottom diameter 7.7 cm
 This mukozuke has the same four-way corner and goze bottom design as Shino mukozuke with a Shino tozan design, and the body is decorated with hinokaki and grass patterns on two sides. It is a typical Shino mukozuke with a straightforward pictorial design for this type of mukozuke. However, there are not many examples of this type of mukozuke in the Shino tradition, and probably only a few dozen pieces have survived. It is thought that the pieces were fired in the middle or under-kiln kilns of the Ohgaya kiln. The glaze is thin and softly melted, with reddish tints appearing everywhere.
