| Karatsu-yaki is one of the humblest pottery traditions and its apparent simplicity has made it revered among tea ceremony masters. Its rustic, unpretentious character and basic forms and tones give it strength and has kept it popular for more than four hundred years. This attractive guinomi (sake cup) was made by a Karatsu master potter named Nakano Tochitobo, born in 1916, at the Nakano kiln, a well known and old Karatsu kiln, which was established by Matsushima Yagoro. The Nakano lineage of potters specializes in making chawan (tea bowls) and the skills of Nakano Tochitobo, a recognized potter and the fourth descendant of that lineage, are evident in this splendid cup, which has nothing to envy to the larger vessels. The guinomi is signed, in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed wooden box. Dimensions: 7.5 cm x 4 cm (3 in x 1.6 in); weight 85g (3 oz) More pictures available on demand.
