Shino

The first Shino glazes are believed to have been in Japan in the 14th or 15 century. Originally it was called “fat white” a soft looking thick glaze with subtle yellow/orange tones. Today it can be white, orange, red, beige, brown, black, shiny or matte, smooth or rough, usually having pinholes and crazing. Shinos are one of the most unpredictable glazes a potter can use. They are also wonderful with a quality unlike any other glaze.
