A wonderfully designed and gorgeously colored coveted square Mingei bottle vase by Japanese National Treasure pottery master Tatsuzo Shimaoka. This vase is an early work of Shimaoka's before he started to use his impressed "Ta" signature. The rich colors are truly amazing and shift in the light.

Shimaoka, who started as an apprentice to famed Japanese potter Shoji Hamada in 1946 before opening his own studio, has exhibited worldwide including North America, Asia, and Europe. In 1996 he was bestowed the title of Japanese Living Treasure...

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.

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...
