A bold, sculptural lidded confectionery box (kashiki) in Oribe ware, embodying the dynamic, free-flowing style for which this potter is celebrated. The vivid green Oribe glaze pools and streaks across an irregular, hand-built form, contrasted with warm earthy tones and pale ash-glazed accents where the clay is left exposed. The lid rises in an organic, almost rock-like silhouette, giving the piece a strong sense of presence and movement. Height: 9.6cm / Width: 14.5cm / Depth: 12cm / Weight: 586g. 【Artist Profile】 Shugo Takauchi (高内秀剛, b.1937, Tokyo) is a self-taught ceramicist who established his kiln, Hyakudogama, in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture, in 1968.
