This magnificent chawan (tea bowl) was made by Koie Ryoji, one of the best known contemporary Japanese potters. This remarkable vessel, covered with the always fascinating oribe glaze, seems to have been born on the shores of an abundant sea. Its aquatic character is pronounced at the kodai (foot) where two pieces of shell are incrusted amid drops of emeralds. Yet, the abstract markings on the body of the bowl tell of the artists play in its making. They also convey his mastery of the craft, as his free spirit has allied itself to all the elements that have shaped this sublime chalice.
Koie Ryoji, born in 1938 in Tokoname, is a true artist who finds inspiration in anything, and his creations are expressions of his will to constantly redefine his work and surprise the viewers. Koie Ryoji’s reputation extends beyond Japan. He has exposed his works in many renowned national and international venues. The chawan is in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed wooden box. Dimensions: 12.5 cm x 10 cm (5 in x 4 in); weight 600g (1.3 lb) More pictures available on request.
