sabi Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 (edited) Good evening NMB, On offer today is a classic example of Shino by an artist that works in the mountains of Gifu, the home of Mino ware. Kazuji Sato founded the Sawarabi (Early Fern) Kiln in the late 1970s following an apprenticeship with Shino great Hayashi Kotaro, and that influence is clearly seen in this work. Featuring a beautiful gray Shino glaze that is whiter in thicker areas and shows subtle blue tints where it gets thinner. It perfectly compliments the reddish iron rich slip and the spontaneous, scraped away design of bracken ferns that rely on the natural warm color of the clay. The shape allows the bowl to effortlessly settle into the hands, while the thickness and weight distribution allow for a perfect balance. In excellent vintage condition with no flaws. Measures approximately 11.5 x 8.5cm and comes with its original signed box, hand signed cloth and paperwork. $160 shipped to the USA, international buyers please contact me for a quote. 🙇🍵🌿 Edited May 28 by sabi 2 Quote
