Ofukei ware

Ofukei ware (御深井焼, Ofukei-yaki), also spelled Ofuke, refers to a type of Japanese pottery that was originally produced in Nagoya, central Japan.

Ofukei ware has links to Mino ware. The name comes from the kiln which was located in the Ofuke enceinte of Nagoya Castle. Production started around 1670 and was under the patronage of the Owari Tokugawa lords.^[1] Production initially focused on tea caddies (cha-ire).

Ofuke ware is burned with the use of Feldspar minerals and shows a transparent ash glaze. Wares came in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
