| This wonderful yunomi (tea cup) was made by Suzuki Goro, one of the best known contemporary potters. This particular cup is made in the kuro-oribe (black oribe) tradition of pottery, which originated in the Mino province of Japan (current Aichi prefecture) around the 1600’s. Furuta Oribe (1544-1615) gave his name to that kind of ceramic. He was a warrior and a tea master, student to Sen-no-rikyu (1522-1591), and favored asymmetrical, cracked tea potteries, which were more in tune with the concept of beauty at the core of the tea ceremony. 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: 9 cm x 11.5 cm (3.6 in x 4.6 in) The listed price does not include shipping and a 4% processing charge.
