About the Item

A truly magnificent in size and execution Japanese stoneware studio pottery charger/bowl. This exceptionally large and heavy asymmetrical work features a circular swirl design pattern and has a very over undulating rim-flow design. This particular piece encompasses the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic (which is so revered and coveted in Japan) - the appreciation of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete in nature and embraces the principles of asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature upon them. We are listing it as 20th century but could be older. This unique work (along with others we will be listing) came from a collector of fine Japanese and Asian ceramics - a collection like no other we have seen before. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian pottery/ ceramics collection or a very eye-catching stand-alone accent work or table centrepiece in about any setting. Dimensions: 3.9" high, 18.4" wide, 18.25" deep.
