Madara glazing cup (straw ash glaze)

Madara glaze is one in which the black dots are seen into the white glaze, creating a mottled (Madara) pattern. In Japanese pottery, Madara glaze is often seen in Karatsu ware (Karatsu-yaki) and Takatori ware (Takatori-yaki).

The black dots are the result of the iron content of the clay, creating patterns in the white glaze.
