Yakishime Sutra Container Vase by Yoshisuji Keiji

Artisan and Design: Ceramics Contemporary: item #751868

Yakishime refers to high-fired unglazed stoneware, such as Shigaraki, Bizen and Iga. Yoshisuji Keiji does not classify his works in any one style, just natural ash-glazed wares, of which he often fires more than once. This creates a crusty-ancient feel to the works and here is a superb example of that. The form is based upon Heian-Kamakura period sutra containers. It has an ethereal greenish-blue glaze on the front and ash covering the back and lid; a magical-deep work, also can be used for flow... Click for details

Bizen Yohen Tsubo-Jar by Yamamoto Izuru

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Jars Pre 2000: item #749771

Yamamoto Izuru(b.1944)is the fourth son of the late Bizen Living National Treasure Yamamoto Toshu. Izuru's known for his interesting forms and studies on clay and the combining of different clays to bring out different colors on pieces, this is called shusai. Yet, he also fires--not that often though--traditional Yamamoto style pots and here is an excellent example of that. The form is similar to that of his father---full bunrin-apple form--and the firing is a rich varied colored yohen with a ma... Click for details
