Oni Hagi Guinomi by Miwa Masatsugu

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Cups Contemporary: item #734388

Oni Hagi is one of the most remarkable types of Japanese ware. The genre is a creation of a legendary potter named Miwa Jusetsu, born in 1910 (the eleventh Miwa Kyusetsu), who inherited the glazing techniques from his brother Miwa Kyuwa (1895-1981) (the tenth Miwa Kyusetsu); both have been designated Important Intangible Cultural Properties (National Living Treasures) of Japan. Those techniques have now been transmitted to other Hagi potters. This particular guinomi (sake cup) was made by Miw... Click for details

Red Raku Guinomi by Andoche Praudel

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Cups Contemporary: item #734383

It is the first time I present a pottery by a European Potter, but Andoche Praudel, born in 1950 in Southwestern France, is no stranger to Japanese ceramics, so the surprise might only be subtle. This wonderful guinomi (sake cup) was made in France, combining the century old techniques of Japanese Raku with a zest of French savoir faire; Andoche Praudel regularly visits Japan, where he has met Raku Kichizaemon XV, the heir to a 400 year old lineage of master potters. True to the essence of Rak... Click for details

Five Hakuji White Porcelain Yunomi by Maeta Akihiro

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Cups Contemporary: item #731768

When I viewed a past Japan Ceramic Society Award-Winner's exhibition in Tokyo I was enraptured with a set of five hakuji-white porcelain faceted yunomi by Maeta Akihiro (b.1954). The form of each was perfection and the feel satin smooth; I knew tea would be like liquid jade within. Maeta works on each piece quite intensely and does not make many as it's just too time-consuming. It's been two years now since we offered Maeta's yunomi and here are five that are fit for a daimyo. Each in perfect co... Click for details

Bizen 'Beer' Cup by Kakurezaki Ryuichi

Artisan and Design: Ceramics: Pottery: Cups Contemporary: item #731077

It's well-known that a Bizen beer mug (mugishuhai) makes the beer foam creamier and softer; Nakamura Rokuro taught me that years ago in his studio. I simply can't drink beer anymore in a glass, if given a choice. Almost all Bizen potters make beer mugs--and even Rosanjin made them in Shino (I know of an available one for 2.2million yen)--and Kakurezaki does it with his distinctive style and flair, plus the firing is excellent. In perfect condition with a signed boxed, 11 and 11.5cm.tall, incised... Click for details
