Glaze Texture: Features a beautiful, intentional crackle glaze effect (貫入 / Crazing)
under the gloss finish, which is a foundational requirement of authentic traditional Satsuma ware. The rich matte details and raised textures are a natural result of the hand-applied Moriage technique (not a modern flat-printed reproduction).
- Base: The unglazed bottom rim is flat, stable, and already fitted with white felt pads to protect your floors from scratches.
