About the Item

Exceptional Japanese Style Raku Fired or Ceramic Decorative Bowl with vibrant polychrome crackle glaze, unique Japan-inspired design, circa 1960. A stunning raku fired decorative bowl is attributed to the design of Michel Brainin from Honfleur, France. The impressive size is 21 1/4" Diameter x 2 3/8" H, weighs 23 pounds. This wonderfully hand-crafted decorative bowl would look fabulous on any table or large countertop. Very good vintage condition. Possibly inspired by Paul Soldner pottery and Suzanne Ramie for Madoura style ceramics. Raku is a Japanese word that can be translated as enjoyment, happiness, or comfort. In 1580, the potter Chijiro is thought to be the first to produce this form of ware. He developed a low-fire pottery process in which he placed ware directly into a red-hot kiln, then once the glazes had melted, removing the ware from the still red-hot kiln and allowing the pottery to cool outside the kiln. This direct process was well received, especially by enthusiasts of the tea ceremony. In 1598 a gold seal was presented to Chijiro (or possibly his son) by the ruler Hideyoshi. Raku thus became Chijiro's family title. The Raku family continues making their pottery in Chijiro's tradition; the current master is Raku Kichizaemon XV. This Exceptional Japanese Style Raku Fired or Ceramic Decorative Bowl with vibrant polychrome crackle glaze, unique Japan-inspired design, circa 1960 would enhance any setting.
