Shoji Hamada Japanese Tenmoku & Nuka Pottery Plate Original Signed Sealed Box

About the Item

An exquisite, unique work by master Japanese potter Shoji Hamada, a fine early example of his tenmoku and nuka trailing decoration glaze technique. Hamada first coated the plate with a thin slip made from a local clay or ochre. This particular clay is rich in iron and provides a darker unglazed background for the trailed Nuka and Tenmoku glazes to pop and radiate (which Hamada poured from a ladle in unique and spontaneous patterns). The original Hamada signed and stamped/sealed box is included. Rare to find such a beautiful piece in such impeccable condition with its original signed box. This unique, bold, masterful work is sure to shine in any collection or setting. Would make for a great addition to collectors of Japanese or Asian pottery and be an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting once properly displayed. 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, London UK. Plate dimensions: 1.75” high, 9.85" diameter Box dimensions: 3" high, 11.25" wide, 11.25" deep.

  • Shoji Hamada Tenmoku Glaze and Kaki Trailing Vase and Original Signed Sealed Box
    By Shoji Hamada
    Located in Studio City, CA
    An exquisite, beautifully crafted Japanese pottery vase by master potter Shoji Hamada featuring Hamada's famous signature tenmoku glaze with kaki trailing. The original Hamada signed and sealed wood storage box is included as well as the written appraised signature of his son Shinsaku Hamada. The vase also comes with a printed artist profile/sales brochure of Hamada (featuring some of his other presumably available work). It appears this piece was offered at the Keio Department store in Shinjuku, Tokyo. At first glance, this may seem odd but in fact, this is quite an honor in Japan. This store is known for selling and exhibiting such high-profile artists and potters as Bernard Leach, Lucie Rie, Gyokudo Kawai, Shiko Munakata, Kawai Kanjiro, and Rosanjin Kitaoji. A major goal of many ceramic artists in Japan is to have a one-man exhibition in a department store. For many Westerners, this is a strange concept. Some of the larger department stores have up to three or four dedicated galleries showing concurrent art exhibitions. A well-known artist's exhibition can bring in hundreds, often thousands, of customers to a store and increase revenue for other sales in the millions-of-yen range. These exhibits are usually longer running and highlight a potter's career, like a Living National...
