| This splendid yunomi (tea cup) was made by Suzuki Goro, one of the best known contemporary potters. This particular cup is made in the narumi-oribe tradition of pottery, which originated in the town of Narumi, located the Mino province of Japan (current Aichi prefecture) around the 1600’s. Furuta Oribe (1544-1615), a warrior, tea master and student to Sen-no-rikyu (1522-1591) gave his name to that genre of asymmetrical potteries It was more in tune with the concept of beauty at the core of the tea ceremony. The vitrified drop of emerald glaze on this cup adds to that character. 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 yunomi is signed, in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed wooden box (please allow a few weeks before shipping). Dimensions: 8.5 cm x 11 cm (3.4 in x 4.4 in) The listed price does not include shipping and a 4% processing charge.
