Toshiko Takaezu Signed Japanese Hawaiian Glazed Pottery Chawan Yunomi Tea Bowl

About the Item

An absolutely gorgeous and wonderful chawan tea bowl / yunomi cup by famed Japanese American pottery master Toshiko Takaezu. The work features a rich, matte black tenmoku glaze with splashes of brushed colors. It is a unique and one-of-a-kind work with a very Wabi-sabi feel to it. The piece is signed on the base with her traditional "TT" mark / monogram. Would be a great addition to any collectors of her or other Mid-Century Modern pottery makers or an eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Gorgeous and special overall. Takaezu was designated a living treasure in Hawaii in 1987. Her work can be found in numerous collections and museums worldwide including: Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Massachusetts Allentown Art Museum, Allentown, Pennsylvania Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, Maryland Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio Canton Museum of Art, Canton, Ohio Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio Currier Museum of Art , Manchester, New Hampshire Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, San Francisco, California Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York Harn Museum of Art, Gainesville, Florida Hunter Museum of American Art, Chattanooga, Tennessee Hunterdon Art Museum, Clinton, New Jersey Grounds for Sculpture, Hamilton, New Jersey Hawaii State Art Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia, Honolulu Museum of Art, Honolulu, Hawaii Kresge Art Museum, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, California Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Museum of Arts and Design, New York, New York Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas Newark Museum, Newark, New Jersey New Jersey State Museum, Trenton, New Jersey Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Princeton University Art Museum, Princeton, New Jersey Racine Art Museum, Racine, Wisconsin Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, Washington Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.
