'''Shino glazing''' is a ceramic glazing technique characterized by thick, opaque white glazes that often display soft textures, subtle color variations, and distinctive surface patterns. The glaze is historically associated with Japanese ceramics produced in the Mino region.

Shino glazes are typically feldspar-based and are applied in relatively thick layers to stoneware vessels. During firing, the glaze may produce warm white, cream, or slightly orange tones, sometimes accompanied by small pinholes or irregular textures. The surface may also reveal subtle gray or reddish areas where the glaze interacts with the clay body.

In some pieces decorative patterns appear beneath the glaze. These designs are often created using iron-oxide brushwork applied to the clay surface before glazing, producing simple motifs that remain visible through the translucent glaze layer.

Shino glazes developed in Japan during the late 16th century and are considered among the earliest intentionally white glazes produced in the country. They became particularly important in ceramics used for the tea ceremony.

Shino glazing is most closely associated with [[Mino ware]] and related ceramic traditions.
