AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Item Description
This is a ceramic flower vase by the contemporary Japanese potter 寺本守 Teramoto Mamoru (1949-), finished in green glaze and silver. The rounded body has a softly lobed, petal-like rim. The interior is glazed in a bright, even green. The exterior has a pale, finely textured silver-toned surface, scattered with fluid green motifs that look like brushstrokes. A painted mark appears on the base. The vase measures 27 cm at its widest and is accompanied by its original box, cloth wrapper and leaflet. Teramoto is known for his exploration of metallic surfaces on ceramics, including silver. This piece is a good example of that approach.

Artist Profile
Teramoto Mamoru was born in 1949 in Kanagawa Prefecture. In 1975 he studied under Matsumoto Saichi in Kutani, where he learned wheel-throwing and overglaze painting. In 1976 he built his kiln in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture, where he has worked ever since. He is regarded as a leading figure in Kasama ceramics and is particularly known for his work with metallic surfaces, including his silver technique. His honors include first selection for the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition in 1980, the Japan Kogei Association Prize in 2010, and a seventh selection for the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition in 2015. He is a full member of the Japan Kogei Association and was among the potters who founded Kasama's annual Himatsuri ceramics festival.

Seller's Story

We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods. Owner Profile Name: Michito Nagahiro Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life. In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date. In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support. Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
