| Excellent, no damage, 4.75 x 4.5 x 2.5". A set of five 19th century Oribe style mukozuke food dishes, of typical Oribe style and form, of rectangular form and decorated with flowers and abstract decorative motifs in iron brown and copper green glazing, each with three loop feet and an impressed gourd mark. The Oribe style best known includes a combination of green glazing and sectional iron oxide pictoral designs, however there are a number of Oribe types among them green, black and red Oribe. Mino kilns began to produce the distinctive new style which came to be known as Oribe-its namesake the famous and influential tea master Furuta Oribe (1544-1615)--after Shino wares, sometime in the late 16th century. The Oribe style was a dramatic departure in Japanese ceramics, both formally with new and varied shapes of dishes and vessels for tea ceremony, and in decoration, with glazed designs of both figural and abstract geometric forms, in bold and rich glazes of iridescent green, black and iron brown. One likely aesthetic inspiration for the ceramics appears to have been in textiles of the period, which bear a strong aesthetic resemblance. This set is attributed to first generation potter Kato Sakusuke (first of three generations). | ||
