About Suzuki Gorô:
Gorô Suzuki has had a long career from his start as a production potter over forty years ago to his present status as a highly revered master of ceramic arts. His work is widely collected both in Japan and throughout the world and is included in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Marer Collection, Scripps College, in the United States; the Seto- city Culture Center and the Meito Art Museum in Japan; and the Hetsens Museum in Germany among others. He has been the recipient of a number of awards including most recently the Japan Ceramic Society Prize in 2001. In addition he has served as a Visiting Scholar at Cranbrook Academy of Art, Michigan, andd the Rhode Island School of Art and Design.
Suzuki Goro is noted for his work in the traditional Oribe style. Rather than sticking rigidly to making copies of old masters, however, Suzuki employs an element of freedom in his work, including humor and passion. His work has been further broadened by assimilating the styles of other cultures; a trip to Los Angeles in the late 1960’s inspired his “Los Angeles Oribe chairs” – large, whimsical and a bit wobbly. Other pieces include folding screens, large tea pots, smoking pipes etc. Works of art became sometimes so large and heavy that the artist had to use a forklift and ladder to handle them. The artist has said that making such large works is like “…sumo-wrestling with my wheel.”

- Japanese glazed stoneware 'gu'-shaped vase by Minegishi Seikô 峯岸勢晃 (1952-2023)By Minegishi Seikô 峯岸勢晃Located in Amsterdam, NLExquisite stoneware vase of ‘gu’-like shape by the honoured artist Minegishi Seikô (1952-2023) with an undulating calyx-shaped mouth and covered by his trademark celadon glaze of grey-greenish colour. This high quality ‘kan’nyû’-type craquelé glaze looks like many stacked crystalized flakes surrounded by a faint reddish line. Creating a beautiful depth. The upper and lower rims, and the lower lying parts of the low relief lobed neck accentuated by smoky grey lines. The smooth foot decorated with two subtle rows of dots in the same shade. The bottom with an unglazed cartouche sealed by the artist. Minegishi Seikô was born in 1952 in Misato City, Saitama Prefecture. He specialised in craquelure celadon glaze, which was infamously difficult to achieve. His thickly applied glazes ranged from the classical range of celadon colours from pale green to grey to beige and were characterised by kan’nyū, or deep crackling that served to emphasise his elegant shapes. Minegishi's early work was in kohiki vessels (an iron-rich body coated in thin white slip glazes) inspired by early Korean pun'chong wares, rather than celadon glazes. After seeing a Chinese celadon bowl...Category
