| Here is yet another example of perfect balance between tradition and vision. Suzuki Goro has married a classic pottery tradition with his creative spirit; this time, the fruit is a chawan (tea bowl) with a gentle air and soothing traits; a less often seen side of its maker. The bowl is part of the collection of 159 Shino pieces, made over the last 5 years, which were exposed in Tokyo in December 2007, to mark Suzuki Goro’s 50 years as a potter. Suzuki Goro is a potter who 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 conventional pieces. In 2002, Suzuki Goro received the very prestigious Japan Ceramic Society Prize. The chawan is signed, in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed box (please allow 3-4 weeks before shipping). Dimensions: 12.5 cm x 9 cm (5 in x 3.6 in) The listed price includes worldwide insured shipping. A catalog of the exposition, featuring the 159 pieces exposed, is available for sale. Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question. | |||||||||||||
