Burgeon Wood Fired Houhin IV

Description

Made by the same studio as our Dive pufferfish houhins, this series features delicately ornamented flowers on the lid. Each one is wood fired to perfection. This multi-day firing process produces unique markings and patterns due to placement in the kiln and interaction with the smoke.

Unsurprisingly, the artist behind them is quite inventive, and with a curious mind. His studio exemplifies this, with pieces that border the experimental and the artistic. There’s a mechanical tea table, bespoke ceramic lid that he made to replace the metal one on his metal boiler, a speaker that sits in a ceramic cabinet, and many other inventions that he’s made all around the studio.

While his background in traditional ceramics provides a base, his inventive mind has led many of his designs being patented. Aside from pleasing the eyes, this design also features hollowed out corners, allowing you can grab the body without burning your fingers when pouring.

There is a small chip on the inner portion of the body (last photo). This is not visible during normal use and not easily noticeable with the lid off, nor does it affect functionality. However, the price has been reduced accordingly.
