A traditionally crafted Bizen sake cup with a rich mineral glaze giving this guinomi a metallic look. The craftsman who made this piece, Takahiro Ishii, was born in Tokyo in 1977, and, after studying ceramics for a number of years, he moved to Bizen to become a ceramics teacher and later opened his own kiln. He takes a philosophic approach to his work as evidenced by the following quote, “As a ceramicist, I feel that the point is not just to produce pieces. With every new work I project a bit of myself into it, and in this way, constantly evolve through the process of searching for myself. To do this you must first take in the world around you, digest it, and then put it into form—however difficult that may appear to be.”
In excellent condition, this piece measure 3.6 inches in diameter at its widest point (9 cm) and stands 1.8 inches tall (4.6 cm). It comes with a fitted wooden box signed and sealed by the artist. **Note: We have added a picture of this guinomi with a sake flask by the same artist and there is also one other sake cup in the gallery if you would like to make a set. In this case, for 3 items there is a discount of $150 and shipping and insurance would be included.
