Artist: 泰田久史 Yasuda Hisashi The piece features a boldly organic form with an undulating rim, rising from a stable base to a wide, expressive mouth. The surface is covered in a richly layered glaze in tones of deep blue, green, and warm brown, creating a dynamic, landscape-like effect reminiscent of light breaking across water or earth at dawn — a quality that resonates directly with the title. The scale and weight of the piece (approximately 14.8 kg) speak to the technical mastery required in its creation. The glaze application is complex and deliberate, with pooling, flowing, and textural variation across the surface. The interior is partially glazed, consistent with a functional vessel form treated as a sculptural object. A signature or seal mark is present on the underside of the piece. Size Height: 44 cm Width: 46 cm Depth: 23 cm Weight 14,800 g Condition The piece is in good overall condition with no chips, cracks, or restoration visible. Minor surface marks consistent with age and handling may be present.
