Shino Pottery by Kobayashi Takeharu

Discover the quiet beauty of Shino pottery crafted by Japanese ceramic artist Kobayashi Takeharu. His work celebrates subtle glazes, soft forms, and the warmth of wood-fired kilns. Each piece is shaped and finished by hand, resulting in gentle variations that make every vessel unique. From tea bowls and sake cups to plates and vases, his ceramics invite daily use while retaining the spirit of traditional Mino ware.

Rooted in classic techniques yet open to contemporary expression, Kobayashi’s Shino pieces highlight rich textures, milky white surfaces, and flashes of warm orange and charcoal. They are ideal for collectors, tea practitioners, and anyone who appreciates quiet, timeless craft.
