| This beautiful chawan (tea bowl) is the work of a relatively young and promising potter named Watanabe Aiko. In the land of pottery, women potters are still rare and it is always a pleasure to meet one with exceptional talent. Watanabe Aiko is now a recognized artist and this chawan, along with another one I am presenting in this catalog, clearly shows the coming of maturity of the craftswoman; the kodai (foot) of the tea bowl shows both rawness and design. I certainly believe she deserves all the attention she is getting. Watanabe Aiko was born in 1971 in Osaka. She graduated from Kyoto Saga University of Art in 1992 and went on to study Shigaraki pottery. In 2001, she established a kiln in the city of Iga, a historical pottery center, not far from Kyoto. She now has three kilns there and exposes regularly in cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. The chawan is signed and in perfect condition. It will be shipped in a signed box (please allow for a few weeks for the box to be made). Dimensions: 7.5 cm x 11 cm (3 in x 4.4 in), Weight 350 g (12.3 oz) More pictures available on demand Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question. | ||||||||||||||
