On this plain, flat dish, a uniformly thin application of Shino glaze over a coating of iron-bearing slip produced the variant of Gray Shino known as Red Shino. On most Red Shino vessels the design was scratched through the slip to the white clay body, as for Gray Shino, and therefore appeared white. On this unusual piece the graceful reeds are painted in a dense iron pigment, which appear brown against the coral pink ground of thinner iron pigment as seen through the translucent Shino glaze.
