AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

風情豊かな楽焼の茶碗で、深黒、苔緑、銀色系の光沢が手作業の凹凸ある表面を横切るように豊かに移ろい、虹彩のように色が変化します。不規則な縁と有機的なフォルムは、茶道のために作られた楽焼の特徴であり、手にしたときの個性と触感が高く評価されます。

Height: 7.8cm / Width: 12.6cm / Depth: 12.2cm (hand-measured, slight variance possible).

【Artist Profile】
Sekishun Kato (加藤石春), art name Hoyuken (芳幽軒), was a noted potter active in the Owari region from the late Edo period into the early Showa era. He maintained close ties with the Owari Tokugawa family and the statesman Itagaki Taisuke, and was honoured with the right to use the Tokugawa family crest in recognition of his work. He later established a raku kiln in the Nagoya area, and is particularly known for a distinctive, richly coloured glaze referred to as "Tatta-nishiki." Works by Sekishun Kato are no longer in production. This is a finite body of work. This piece is accompanied by its original storage box.

【Condition】
Excellent. Minor signs of age commensurate with careful storage.

【Shipping】
