I have seen Oribe glaze mentioned several times on Clayart.
Would someone tell me about it. Is it a comercial glaze,
what cone, o/r,etc.
Thanks

Oribe is a specific type of pottery produced in Japan at its height in the
16th Century. I love the aesthetics of Oribe square baskets with the pulled
arched handles. The decoration is so shockingly contemporary that I use
examples in my classes to show students design concepts which transcend time
and place.

Oribe refers to a style of pottery produced in Japan as early as 1600. It
shared some of the same glaze usage as the shino wares, but in vastly different
aplications. Oribe ware was fired in some of the first multi-chambered kilns.
The shapes of oribe ware vary greatly, but often included clay slabs, drapped
over molds, with handles and brushed surface decoration. The surface was
decorated with white slips and iron brush work. Sometimes they even used red
and white clays together on the same vessel.
The oribe glazes were usually, either a shino glazed fired very hot so that it
became transparent, or a bright copper green glaze, more typically associated
with oribe ware today. The green glaze was very fluid and sometimes ran over
the brush work. Most oribe glazes that I have encountered have been this type,
a glassy transparent green glaze with copper as the primary colorant.
If you'd like to see some examples of oribe ware, check out INSIDE JAPANESE
CERAMICS by Richard Wilson. There are several examples. Also, the above
information comes form that same text.

Wallace,
"Oribe" means green; we generally (for some reason) call them
"Oribe Green(s)" in this country. Oribes are usually cone
9--11 or so; usually fired in reduction, at their best in my
opinion in wood-firing. The ones I have used are very stable,
a slight yellow cast to the green when fired in reduction, and
some lovely pinks/reds blushing randomly here/there. In
oxidation, mine has a slight blue undertone, no reds or pinks.
Shows off texture well, much like a celadon; a transluscent
glaze, most effective on porcelain or porcelain slips; heavy
iron clay bodies can give a muddy look to the glaze.
There was a discussion of Oribe green some months or so back
on the list - check the archives, should be a ton of them. Rafael
Molina posted some that were nice, numerous others did, too.

Who was Oribe.
Furuta Oribe (1544-1615) C.E. a contemporarie of Sen no Rikyu. When
Rikyu died Oribe became active as the leader of the new tea world (pg
89. Shino and Oribe Ceramics by Ryoichi Fujioka).
The glaze that is refered to is based on the copper pigmented glaze
used on Oribe ware. Ken Ferguson spread its use whrough his students.
I beleive he assigned the glaze as a project to Randy (whose last name
I forgot) who came up with Randi's Green, that was almost immediately
retitled Oribe. The date of this test seems to be in the late
seventies.

Dolomite 6.6

I don't suggest it for use on food surfaces.
We have the glaze mixed up in our studio, but with the following

Wallace,
Oribe is the name of a type of glaze that originated in Japan and are
generally deep green in color due to a high percentage of copper (around 5%) in
the glaze recipe. Some will turn a pinkish red in reduction, which isn't always
the intended result. Most are cone 9 or 10 reduction glazes. The oribe that I us
is a nice shiny emerald green. If you want I can post the recipe, another very
simple oribe is
Barnard clay 50
Wood ash 50
copper 5%
+ a very dark runny green
Regards,
Fred Herbst
