This jar could only have been made by one Mashiko potter; the bold paddled faceted form, the multi-glazing abstract glazing scheme and the just plain down-to-earth goodness all point to Murata Gen( 1904-1988). This is one of the smaller jars---standing at 20.5cm.tall--that we've ever offered in this form, very handsome for a desk. In perfect condition, signed on base, no box. Look for Murata yunomi and chawan next week.

He 'studied' under his father Shiro and the same spirit within Shiro's works is to be found in Yui's works, as well as his younger brother Kai. This is a Yui jar fired on its side and it displays a lovely green-blue toned ash glaze as well as many 'scars' from the firing; all in all it has a b... Click for details
