It's going to be a busy year for Koie Ryoji; he turns 70 and there are many events-exhibitions planned, such as the a tsubo exhibition at the Paramita Museum from April 1-June 30. He was also awarded the prestigious Gold Prize from the Japan Society (the 'regular' award went to Mihara Ken!) and thus joins an elite group of legendary ceramic artists. This chawan was exhibited at the Japan Ceramic Society Award-Winners Exhibition last month, one of only three Koie chawan and the other two were acquired by a major Tea scholar, whose name I shall disclose only to the person who completes the trio. In perfect condition with a signed box, 9cm.tallx13x11.2.
