Description from the seller
About the Works
Artist: Masahiko Nakamura
Title of work: Shutogama Yusai Tea Bowl With Box
This elegant tea bowl belongs to the repertoire of Kutani-ware produced under the name Autumn Pond Studio (秋塘窯), crafted by the Japanese ceramic artist Nakamura Masahiko, the 5th generation of that lineage.
The bowl features a glaze-color finish (“釉彩”) that blends subtle hues gracefully — often resulting in soft transitions between greens, earth tones, and occasionally bright accents. The glaze flows naturally over the form, creating a surface that reflects light and reveals delicate depth and nuance, hallmarking a successful balance between spontaneity and control. The overall profile — modest in size, refined in proportions — evokes the quiet elegance and restrained beauty typical of fine Kutani wares.
About Autumn Pond Studio
Autumn Pond Studio was founded by the first-generation potter under the name 秋塘, and through generations has cultivated a tradition of Kutani-ware production.

Their works often emphasize natural glazes and flow-glaze techniques, creating ceramics that feel organic and grounded — suitable for everyday use or display.
The studio continues the long heritage of Kutani ware while exploring individual artistic expression through glaze variation and kiln technique.
About the Artist Masahiko Nakamura
Nakamura Masahiko is recognized as the 5th generation of Autumn Pond Studio.
His works — including tea bowls, vases, and various ceramic vessels — reflect a commitment to both tradition and personal creativity. The “釉彩” glazing technique he employs results in expressive surfaces where glaze flow and colour variation become part of the piece’s character. By blending classical Kutani aesthetics with contemporary sensibilities, his pieces attract collectors who appreciate subtlety, form, and glaze artistry.
