Set of 3 Yunomi by Imaemon, Taroemon and Kakiemon (r)

This beautiful set of three yunomi is part of a wonderful collection of tea cups acquired over many years by a private Japanese collector. The artists who made those cups are each 13th generation potters from the Saga prefecture, cradle of two major Japanese pottery styles: Arita and Karatsu. The proximity of that region to the Korean peninsula allowed continental potters and their techniques to settle there and establish kilns which would have a major impact on the production of ceramics in Japan. Imaizumi Imaemon XIII (1926-2001), Sakaida Kakiemon XIII (1906-1982) and Taroemon Nakazato XIII, born in 1923, have been recognized as master craftsmen and protectors of those traditions. In 1989, Imaemon XIII was designated Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure) of Japan, while that honor had been bestowed to Taroemon XII in 1976 and would be to Kakiemon XIV, in 2001. Each cup is signed, in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed wooden box. Dimensions: 5.5 cm x 5.5 cm (2.2 in x 2.2 in); 5.5 cm x 6 cm (2.2 in x 2.4 in); 5 cm x 5.5 cm (2 in x 2.2 in) Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question. Some of the pieces presented in this catalog may be acquired through an interest free payment plan.
