Wikipedia definition
2. TenmokuTenmoku (also spelled "temmoku" and "temoku") is a dark glaze with a surface that resembles oilspotting. It is made of feldspar, limestone, and iron oxide. The more quickly a piece is cooled, the blacker the glaze will be. Tenmoku takes its name from the 天目 mountain temple in China where iron-glazed bowls were used for tea. Tenmokus are known for their variability. During their heating and cooling, several factors influence the formation of iron crystals within the glaze.
