Shigaraki Vase

A signed vase acquired from the artist in 1975.Shigaraki ware is a pottery produced mainly in Shigaraki area in Koka city, Shiga prefecture. Shigaraki ware is characterized by its distinctive form brought by the wood firing; the reddish-orange (scarlet) color from oxidation of iron in the clay, natural ash glaze acquired from the deposit of ashes in the kilns, and “Koge (Burn)”, the result of being buried under embers during firing. Rustic surface caused by inclusion of fine stone particle such as a piece of quartz, feldspar or silica is also characteristic of Shigaraki ware. It is often said that Shigaraki pottery and Iga pottery have similarities in style. This is because both Shigaraki and Iga are produced in neighboring district and use the same clay from Lake Biwa. It is the clay that brings forth the warmth and simplicity of “Ko-Shigaraki(Old Shigaraki)”.

Arita Yaki Large Dish

A fine contempory Arita dish acquired in Japan in 1980.The beginning of Arita took place during Hideyoshi Toyotomi’s Imjin War in Korea. The fruitless 7 years of battle was brought to a close with Toyotomi’s death. During this time, many of the feudal lords, or daimyo, returned home from the Korean Peninsula bringing potters with them. Naoshige Nabeshima of the Nabeshima clan in Saga Prefecture was no exception. And then in the second year of the Genna Era (circa 1616), the potter Sanpei Li discovered deposits of white porcelain ore in Arita’s Izumiyama which became known as Japan’s first examples of porcelain goods to be fired. The potters who came from the Korean Peninsula settled in Arita and developed the Joseon Style of pottery which transformed into various methods such as the Chinese style, white porcelain, celadon porcelain and dyeing.

It has a confident form–reminiscent of old Korean henko jars–and classic Tamba firing. In perfect condition with his signature on base. Original box included.
