Where the slip thins or stops, the glaze turns milky white, showing in a patch on the outer wall, in swirls inside the bowl and in a broad band around the foot. Fine pinholes scattered across the surface are a characteristic feature of Shino glaze, created as gases escape through the thick feldspar coating during firing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShino originated in the Mino region (present-day Gifu) in the late 16th century, during the Momoyama period, and is regarded as the first white-glazed ware made in Japan.
