Set of two Yunomi by Suzuki Goro (a)

This beautiful pair of two large yunomi (tea cups) was made by Suzuki Goro, one of the most prolific contemporary potters, also known as a potter’s wheel prodigy. The versatility and restless creativity of the artist is now legendary, and the diversity in colors of these two cups is a good representation of that talent. The yunomi are made in the Kuro-oribe (black oribe) and narumi oribe traditional styles of pottery, from the ancient province of Mino (current Aichi prefecture) where the artist is from. 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 are signed, in perfect condition and will be shipped in one signed wooden box (please allow a few weeks before shipping). The listed price does not include shipping and a 4% processing charge. Dimensions: kuro-oribe cup 9.5 cm x 12.5 cm (3.8 in x 5 in); narumi oribe cup 9 x 12 (3.6 x 4.8 in) Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question.
