IGAYAKI-Ko-Iga Katakuchi-l伊賀自然釉片口

This Ko-Iga katakuchi (古伊賀焼 片口) is a handcrafted sake pouring vessel that blends the raw beauty of Iga-yaki ceramics with the philosophy of wabi-sabi—the appreciation of imperfection. The vessel's asymmetrical form and elegantly curved spout are designed for smooth pouring, making it ideal for serving sake with refinement.

The swirling ridges on the interior, combined with the naturally formed ash glaze, create a unique interplay of textures and tones. The rough, earthy surface, enhanced by the high-temperature wood-firing process, gives this piece a raw, organic beauty that evolves over time with use.

Whether used for pouring sake, serving sauces, or as a decorative piece, this katakuchi embodies the harmony of fire, clay, and craftsmanship, carrying on the ancient tradition of Ko-Iga pottery
