(Characteristic) Porcelain:
*Fushi-yaki

In most cases, the pots are fired with the base face down, so that the edges where the mouth touches the pot are glazed and smooth.
In the case of fuseyaki, as the name implies, the pot is fired face down, so glaze cannot be applied to the edge, and the piece has a slightly rough texture compared to a glazed piece.
After firing, the surface is polished to make it smooth, so there is no problem in using it.
This is one of the firing methods and is not considered a "B" product.
