sabi Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 Moritoki Taiyu was an highly regarded calligrapher and Bizen potter. He is far more known for the former, as his pottery production was very limited in comparison. Showing immense skill at both disciplines, this piece beautifully combines them. A classic stacked mochi form reminiscent of ancient Bizen works with beautiful clay flavor. Graced with spotted natural ash deposits on one side, which get heavier and begin to flow on the reverse. Both sides are decorated with a bamboo design and that make wonderful use of the artists brushwork prowess. Comes with its original matching lid, which is always preferred vs a lacquered wood replacement, along with the box and cloth. Measures 21cm wide by 17cm tall and in excellent/unused vintage/antique condition. $220 shipped to the USA, payment via PayPal friends and family. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional pics. 2 Quote
