Japanese Shawan tea cup in celadon with corded pattern by to Tenzo Shimaoka
About the Item
Celadon tea cup with corded patterns glazed in the Jômon zogan style made by Tatsuzô Shimaoka (1919-2007, Mingei school). Developed by himself, this style is inspired by ancient processes such as the Jômon string-printing technique (ca. 13,000 – 800/300 B.C.) and the Korean process of the Joseon period (1392-1897) of adding white slip with decorative indentations. The salt gaze was imported from Europe.
Accompanied by its original transport box with signature and seal of the ceramist, and a washi paper sheet containing a short biography :
“Biography of ceramist Tatsuzô Shimaoka
