Here the slip was applied with quick, dragging strokes, so the surface shifts between pale ash-grey, deep charcoal and patches of warm brick red where the slip runs thin and the iron flashes through, an effect associated with Beni-Shino. A fine crackle runs through the glaze. Inside, the white Shino glaze is milkier and more open, crossed by loose grey brush marks that look almost like ink washes.\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. Nezumi-Shino, with its muted greys and visible brushwork, is one of its most painterly variations and was valued in tea for its quiet, wabi character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe form is deep and rounded, with gently inturned walls and a softly undulating, hand-shaped rim.
