Miyao Masahiro(b.1970)is a young Bizen artist to certainly keep an eye on. His awards have been piling up and that included a major award last autumn at the 53rd annual Japanese Traditional Arts and Crafts Exhibition. The award was Nihon Kogei Kai Kai-cho Award selected by the chairman of the Japanese Traditional Arts and Crafts association. Miyao is only the third Bizen ceramic artist to be awarded a top award at this prestigious exhibition, the other two being Yamamoto Izuru and Isezaki Shin. This Miyao vase is 35.5cm.tall and displays
the finest Bizen yohen firing of various colors and ash glazing. A superb piece either to simply as is display or with flowers; in perfect condition with a signed box.
