What is Japanese Bizen ware?
Japanese Bizen ware is a form of pottery that does not use glaze, creating pieces that are lackluster and have a rustic appearance. Bizen ware is made from a type of clay that is more difficult to spread enamel on than other types of clay. As a result, the method of production involves selecting specific soil to turn into clay and drying the pottery before firing it. Browse a range of Japanese Bizen ware on 1stDibs.
