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 flowers. In perfect condition with a signed box, 27cm.tallx14, signed on base.
