Specialist note

Oribe vessels are named for the radical unorthodoxy of the influential warlord and tastemaker Furuta Oribe (1543/44–1615), who had a keen interest in tea culture. It was formed by molding, then the body of white clay was covered with a cool, copper-green glaze and decorated in iron oxide. Known as Ao-Oribe, this type of Oribe works decorated with green glaze was the most popular type throughout the history of the Oribe ware. For a dish in the same form excavated from the Nakanomachi site in Kyoto, see Shino and Oribe (Tokyo: Idemitsu Museum of Arts, 2007), exh. cat. Pl. 190.
