{"product_id":"ash-heron","title":"Ash Heron","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sake bottle with a character all its own. From a round body, a long spout rises and bends like the neck of a heron, ending in a small head with two tiny eyes; a ridge runs down its back like a crest. A slender neck on the other side is for filling. Wood ash fell thick across the shoulder in the kiln and melted into speckled gold and amber, glossy on the spout, fading to warm red-brown below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo cups accompany it, each from the same firing and each different: one wears a broad band of golden ash, the other has ash that ran and froze into drips ending in dark glassy drops. Inside each, a single bead of ash glass has pooled near the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnglazed Bizen stoneware, wood-fired in one continuous firing near Bizen, Okayama (GPS 34.7456°N, 134.1894°E). Its colour and markings are kiln transformation (yōhen) — the record of earth and flame in a single moment, not a pattern anyone chose. One of a kind, shaped by human hands, and impossible to reproduce. Traceable to the kiln that made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSake bottle:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 115 mm × W 93 mm (mouth 28 mm), 300 ml, 270 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 42 mm × W 61 mm (mouth 53 mm), 50 ml, 90 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 45 mm × W 57 mm (mouth 51 mm), 50 ml, 90 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragile by nature and packed for the journey.
