Slip-coating is one variety of this practice; by applying the white slip over the entire vessel, it produces a soft, nuanced white distinct from that of true white porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVessels whose white slip-coated surfaces display networks of crazing and discoloration that resemble rainwater seeping in are known as amamori. This example likewise shows fine crazing across the whole surface, with pale gray and brown stains layered over the white slip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is plump and smoothly rounded, tapering naturally from the shoulder to the neck, with the rim opening slightly outward. Though modest in size, it has a composed, stable presence; when lifted, the tokkuri settles quietly into the palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft white of the slip, combined with the tones of age that have settled into the crazing, produces a deep expression characteristic of amamori. It is not a bold surface, but a quietly restrained slip-coated ware whose appeal grows the more closely one studies it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity is approximately 250cc when filled to the brim. Its dimensions make it easy to handle as a sake vessel, and its form is also suited to a single flower. ROCANIIRU regards it as a \"tokkuri in the palm,\" appreciating the charm of a small vessel that is complete in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are minor abrasions to the rim, soil deposits around the foot, areas of glaze loss, and age-related crazing and staining. In addition, small surface scratches and iron spots characteristic of an older vessel are present; overall the condition is good.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ROCANIIRU COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52429136691481,"sku":null,"price":111900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/9911\/1193\/files\/2026052413264.jpg?v=1779637217","url":"https:\/\/rcnir.com\/en-in\/products\/antique-korean-ceramics-103","provider":"入蘆花（ロカニイル）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
