Akitsu Mumyoi Oxidation Firing: Teapots

Teapots in Akitsu Mumyoi Oxidation Firing.

Teapots from Sado are finished by a traditional technique called nama-migaki, or raw burnishing. Sado is the only teapot-producing area still doing this, and only a few pieces a day can be finished.

The clay is described on the Akitsu Mumyoi page, and the firing on the Akitsu Mumyoi Oxidation Firing page.
