I
had the opportunity to handle a very fine seiji celadon chawan a short while
back and took a number of photos of the piece which I will in turn make a short
slideshow video. In the mean time, I thought to post this detail shot to show
the exquisite nature of the double refractive celadon which is further
accentuated with iron highlights mingled in to the magical fractures of the
glaze. For such a simple surface born from a somewhat complex process, seiji
glazes create an incredible universe made infinitely better when used on
exactly the right form. There is little else one can to say except more to
follow at a later date.
"Small is my theme.... yet has the sweep
of the universe." Walt Whitman
