| This intriguing chawan (tea bowl) is a modest vessel, which shows strength in its humility. It still radiates a comforting shade of orange and shines on its own, among larger pieces. Its kodai (foot) reveals its strong nature and the tenacity which gives the bowl its noble name. 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 7.5 cm (5 in x 3 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. | |||||||||||||
