DEUX POINTS DE VUE

Illustrated are two views of the same pot that was fired recently. The pot, glazed in my temmoku and tetsu-yu, is shown with its ceramic lid and a roiro black lacquer lid. What never ceases to amaze me is how a small change can alter the appearance and bearing of a pot, like presenting two very different points of view.
