Ki-seto tokkuri and Seto-guro guimoni. While porcelain was used in Kyo -yaki —pottery for use by the wealthy ruling class in Kyoto— the “folk kilns” still had not developed high fire. Potters in Seto/Mino area attempted to duplicate Chinese celadon and developed this ki-seto, or yellow seto which was high fire, meaning the glaze vitrifies (melts into glass) and the container holds liquid—very useful!.
To measure why was going on in the kiln potters made little throwaway pots sticking them uneasy to reach places in the kiln to be pulled out at various times during the firing process to measure the progress of the firing. It seems one day someone stuck one in water, it turned black and Seto guro (black Seto) was born. They complement each other and are great for drinking sake.
