| This intriguing guinomi (sake cup) is a rare piece made with clay from the island of Hawai, by Suzuki Goro, who once again has pushed back the limits of his creativity and knowledge of his craft. The darker tones of the cup echo the volcanic nature of the clay. While a vibrant yellow erupts out of the vessel, the calm and empty kodai (foot) is the expression of infinite potential whence new life can come forth. The extremes complete the expression of that tropical microcosm. 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 guinomi is signed, in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed wooden box. The cup is hollow and a tiny piece of clay detached itself from the body, inside the guinomi, during firing; when shaken the guinomi makes a little noise, which is a welcome innocent flaw. Dimensions: 6 cm x 7.5 cm (2.4 in x 3 in) Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question. | ||||||||||||
