Japanese Kutani-Ware Porcelain Vase by the Famous Tokuda Yasokichi III 三代徳田八十吉
About the Item
Magnificent Kutani-ware porcelain vase of broad bluster shape by the famous artist Tokuda Yasokichi III (Masahiko) (1933-2009). Its body decorated with his beautiful iconic ‘saiyu’ glaze in transcending shades of black, lime green and azure blue.
Signed ‘Kutani Yasokichi’ in red by the artist at the bottom over an abstract carved motif.
Including original signed and sealed tomobako (storage box).
Tokuda Yasokichi III (1933-2009), real name Masahiko, was born Ishikawa prefecture. He is a third-generation potter working in Kutani style, and one of the world’s most famous of Kutani potters. Although traditional Kutani motifs are not present in his current work, Kutani-style colours are his primary design element. Brilliant patterns of rich eggplant, green and yellow merge and separate into abstract designs executed in his signature ‘saiyu’ glaze technique.
In 1986 Tokuda was named a Bearer of Important Intangible Cultural Assets (a “Living National Treasure”) by Ishikawa Prefecture for his work in Kutani ware, like his grandfather before him in 1953. He succeeded to the name Yasokichi III in 1988.
Yasokichi III’s works have been recognized widely and shown in numerous museums including the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Sackler Gallery, and the Smithsonian Institute. His honors include the acceptance into the Issui-kai Pottery and Porcelain Exhibition (1958), and the receiving of multiple prizes such as the Japan Traditional Art Crafts Association Chairman’s Award (1977), the Grand Prize of the International Pottery and Porcelain Exhibition (1990), and the Purple Ribbon Medal given by Japanese government.

- Japanese glazed stoneware 'gu'-shaped vase by Minegishi Seikô 峯岸勢晃 (1952-2023)By Minegishi Seikô 峯岸勢晃Located in Amsterdam, NLExquisite stoneware vase of ‘gu’-like shape by the honoured artist Minegishi Seikô (1952-2023) with an undulating calyx-shaped mouth and covered by his trademark celadon glaze of grey-greenish colour. This high quality ‘kan’nyû’-type craquelé glaze looks like many stacked crystalized flakes surrounded by a faint reddish line. Creating a beautiful depth. The upper and lower rims, and the lower lying parts of the low relief lobed neck accentuated by smoky grey lines. The smooth foot decorated with two subtle rows of dots in the same shade. The bottom with an unglazed cartouche sealed by the artist. Minegishi Seikô was born in 1952 in Misato City, Saitama Prefecture. He specialised in craquelure celadon glaze, which was infamously difficult to achieve. His thickly applied glazes ranged from the classical range of celadon colours from pale green to grey to beige and were characterised by kan’nyū, or deep crackling that served to emphasise his elegant shapes. Minegishi's early work was in kohiki vessels (an iron-rich body coated in thin white slip glazes) inspired by early Korean pun'chong wares, rather than celadon glazes. After seeing a Chinese celadon bowl...Category
