| This is yet another exquisite guinomi (sake cup) by Suzuki Goro, one of the most recognized contemporary Japanese potters. Just as the greatest chawan (tea bowls) are representations of the cosmos, great guinomi are also microcosms, mirror images of the perfect balance of the universe. This particular miniature vessel has that quality, which is the source of its radiating beauty. Suzuki Goro is a potter that goes beyond that usual appellation. He has developed a unique way of expressing himself through ceramics, basing his work on traditional styles from the Mino tradition: Shino, Oribe, Ki-Seto (yellow Seto), Setoguro (black Seto) and the Karatsu tradition. His works, which have a strong sense of individualism, include tea bowls with colorful painted cars and life size chairs, but he is also a master of more orthodox pieces. In 2002, Suzuki Goro received the very prestigious Japan Ceramic Society Prize. The guinomi is signed, in perfect condition and comes with a signed box. Dimensions: 6 cm x 5 cm (2.4 in x 2 in) | |||||||||||
