Well, for openers, it was fired in an oxidation part of the kiln and
for that reason received no firecolor. Also it was fired somewhat too
high(C10+) so the glaze has glossed out, which the Momoyamma era ones
do not. If I were considering it for my collection, I would pay maybe
$60 for it. Would look pretty with matcha in it.

Just an opinion from Hank in Eugene

Ebay Item #7703504480 is a Shino bowl that I find to be of interest. What do
the members of Clayart have to say about its glaze and the slip that is
underneath the glaze and in some areas burned through. I notice there is no
orange "fire color" that we would see in the Australian or American versions
of Shino. What about that?

This looks like a mass produced bowl with a 'shino-like' treatment.
Here in Japan, you could expect to pay about $20 retail for one, just to
give you a ballpark of what you should expect. Just as they do when they
see many American Shino examples, I suspect Japanese collectors and
artists would call this 'Shino-fu'(Shino-like) rather than Shino.

Normally, with good examples of Shino here, you would see the fire color
(not always though).

Hank,

I think the kiln this was fired, in only had oxidation areas. ;-)
Probably souvenir work you buy on the main street of Mino or in
gift shops at most tourist places. It went for $36.70

Check this bowl out by the same seller. A shigaraki hakame bowl. It
is a much better bowl. I think the seller knows that we Americans
like Shino:
