Yasuo Tamaoki （玉置保夫）(1941-) - Coppa - Gres - Oribe Goblet, Grape Motif

Green runs wild here.
A stoneware goblet by Yasuo Tamaoki （玉置保夫）, executed in Oribe glaze — one of Japan's most dramatic ceramic traditions, born in the Mino kilns of the 16th century and still alive in the hands of masters today. The surface is painted with bold grape-and-vine motifs in iron black, while pools of vivid green Oribe glaze flow freely across the body, creating an asymmetry that feels both ancient and alive.
This is not a vessel to be hidden in a cabinet. It demands to be seen.
Complete with original signed wooden box (tomobako) and original artist biographical document.
Works by Yasuo Tamaoki are increasingly difficult to find with full provenance. A rare opportunity.
