Jun Isezaki Signed Japanese Bizen Yaki Ware Pottery Large Vase Signed Sealed Box
About the Item
A wonderfully made large Bizen Yaki Ware vase by famed Japanese Bizen pottery master artist Jun (Jyun) Isezaki (born 1936) who was designated a Japanese Living National Treasure in 2004. The piece has a beautiful, exquisite form with a rich Bizen kiln fired color.
Bizen Yaki is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from Bizen province, presently a part of Okayama prefecture. It is known for its ironlike hardness due to high temperature firing; its earthen-like, reddish-brown color; absence of glaze, although it may contain traces of unpredictable natural molten ash glaze markings resulting from wood-burning kiln firing (Isezaki uses a technique called''Hidasuki" (fire markings) to add surface decoration. This happens completely by chance in the kiln). Bizen ware is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Tamba (Tanba) ware, Tokaname ware, and Shigaraki ware).
The vase is signed by Isezaki on the base with his incised mark and also comes with the artist signed (in black ink) and sealed (in red) tomobako wood box.
Isezaki's works have been exhibited and collected by a number of major international museums including:
Bizen Pottery Museum, Bizen, Okayama, Japan
British Museum, London, UK

Kinpei Nakamura Signed Japanese Abstract Pottery Vase With Original Sealed Box
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully designed and crafted abstract Japanese studio pottery vase/sculpture by renowned potter Kinpei (Kimpei) Nakamura (1935- ).
Kinpei Nakamura was born in the town of Kanazawa, A chance encounter with pottery master Kitaôji Rosanjin at a young age influenced him greatly and he began his artistic pottery career in Japan during the 1960s. Early on, he was heavily influenced by 20th Century Western abstract painting and sculpture as well as Jomon-style ceramics and modernist sculpture (as clearly seen in this piece). His experiments with forms and textures were considered quite radical at the time. He would later travel to the united States to further his studies (he was inspired by American potters such as Peter Voulkos) and career. Today his works can be found in major ceramic art collections and museums worldwide.
The work is signed by Nakamura on the base and comes with the original signed and sealed box...

Shoji Hamada Mingei Kakiyu Kaki Japanese Pottery Vase with Signed & Sealed Box
By Shoji Hamada
Located in Studio City, CA
An exquisite, beautifully crafted, and designed gourd vase by master Japanese potter Shoji Hamada, which features a fine example of his famed rich Kaki or persimmon glaze. The original Hamada stamped/sealed and signed box is included. Rare to find such a beautiful piece in such impeccable condition with its original signed box. Hamada named this vase Kaki-Yu-Kabin (flower vase with Kakiyu glaze).
A very rare form. One Japanese ceramic dealer whom we know said he had only seen one or two other examples like this by Hamada before.
This work is sure to shine in any Japanese pottery/art collection or setting.
Shoji Hamada was designated a Living National Treasure in Japan in 1955. In 1968 he received Japan's highest artistic award the Order of Culture. His work can be found in collections and museums worldwide including Tokyo’s Japan Folk Art Museum and The Tate Museum...

Kaneshige Toyo National Treasure Signed Japanese Bizen Pottery Sake Bottle Vase
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful, perfectly shaped and balanced antique Bizen ware shibui sake bottle (tokkuri) vase by renowned Japanese master potter/artist Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) featuring a unique natural, wonderfully textured organic forming ash glaze. Kaneshige is universally considered to be the founder of modern Bizen pottery.
In 1956, Kaneshige was certified as a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Heritage) for his work in Bizen Ware pottery/ceramics. Bizen Ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of the Okayama prefecture. It is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware).
The piece is signed/ sealed on the base with one of Kaneshige's traditional incised marks.
A rather striking and engaging work. One of the best Kaneshige works we have come across. Scarce and hard to find in such an excellent condition. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese/Asian pottery or Bizen Ware collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting.
Kaneshige's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including:
Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, Seto, Japan
Brooklyn Museum, NY
Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi, Japan
Honolulu Art Museum, HI
Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, Kasama, Japan
