{"product_id":"ash-river","title":"Ash River","description":"\u003cp\u003eA full, rounded bottle vase with a short neck and a rolled lip, its body circled by fine throwing rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece stood where the fire was fiercest. Wood ash fell thick across one shoulder and melted into a river of natural glass — bronze, silver and amber — that runs diagonally down the body, rippled and raised like a mountain ridge seen from the air. Above it, a band of smoky charcoal grey wraps the shoulder; below, the clay glows a soft peach and persimmon. On the far side, pale rounds of \u003cem\u003ebotamochi\u003c\/em\u003e mark where small clay discs held back the flame, crossed by fine dark lines drawn by the fire. A rare and dramatic firing.\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\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 141 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 510 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragile by nature and packed for the journey.
