Japanese Mashiko Ware Mingei Pottery Water Container Vase Manner of Shoji Hamada
About the Item
A quite beautiful and visually stunning Japanese Mashiko Ware Pottery (Mashikoyaki) Mingei vase or Mizusashi (fresh water container used for traditional tea ceremonies. Mizusashi is used to hold fresh water to clean the chasen or bamboo whisk after it has been used to make tea and to replenish the iron kettle so it will always be full) in the manner of renowned artist/master potter Shoji Hamada. The piece features a trailing drip glaze that he made famous and a lacquer-coated wooden lid. As you see from the images, the glaze radiates in the light.
Mashiko is a type of Mingei (folk art) Japanese pottery traditionally made in Mashiko, Tochigi. The area is renowned for its brownish-red clay which many artists including Hamada and Tatsuzo Shimaoka (both designated Japanese National Treasures) found appealing to work with. Pottery from this region dates back to 1853 but the area became popular in the 1930s when Hamada set up his kiln there.
We believe this piece dates back to around 1930-1950 when Hamada was working in Mashiko but it did not come with a signed box so we can say that it may be attributed to him only.
From a Los Angeles collection of fine Japanese and Asian pottery and ceramics.
A rare example of a Mizusashi. Would be a great addition to any Japanese Mingei pottery collection or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.
