A striking hand-thrown ceramic bowl by celebrated Japanese artist Shigemori Yoko (1953–2021), known for her expressive, calligraphy-inspired brushwork and sculptural organic forms. This dynamic piece features an asymmetrical form with bold black abstract strokes against a smooth, white glaze — a signature style that blends traditional Japanese ceramic techniques with avant-garde sensibility.

Shigemori Yoko studied under master ceramicists Kondō Yutaka...
