A Set of Six Takatori Ware Dishes Now Mounted

About the Item

A set of Six Takatori Ware plates. One employing the Japanese Kintsugi technique of using gold to repair cracked ceramics. As a philosophy, kintsugi is similar to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect. The Japanese ceramic known as Takatori ware was founded by Korean potters brought to Japan at the end of the sixteenth century in the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598). From its founding until 1871, Takatori ware production was controlled and patronized by the Kuroda, lords of Chikuzen Province (now Fukuoka Prefecture). The earliest known kiln was built at the base of Mt. Takatori in Chikuzen between 1600 and 1606.   Over the course of the seventeenth century, the site of Takatori production moved five times. In 1716, the workshop and kiln were moved to the Nishijin area west of the Kuroda castle at Fukuoka; their production remained until the abolition of the domain system in 1871. Later, probably in the nineteenth century, the Takatori style became known as one of the Seven Famous Kilns of Enshu, which made wares following the preferences of the tea ceremony master Kobori Enshū.

Rupert Carabin Set of Six Castanet Dancers
By François-Rupert Carabin
Located in New York, NY
Carabin's captivating group of six bronze dancers showcases nude models passionately wielding castanets. Five of the dancers are depicted in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th positions, while the sixth dancer adopts a traditional flamenco stance known as the braceo, characterized by one arm raised and the other resting at the hips in an elegant S shape. The inspiration behind these castanet dancers likely stems from the renowned Spanish performer Carmencita, who gained international fame following her performance at the 1889 Exposition Universelle. Carabin's artistic vision drew from a series of 600 albumen prints capturing nude prostitutes, who frequented local brothels on streets like Rue des Moulins, de Richelieu, d’Amboise, or Joubert. Carabin's early years were marked by his family's exile from Alsace, leading him to settle in Montmartre's red-light district at nine. As an adult, he immersed himself in the vibrant atmosphere of Montmartre's renowned clubs, including the Chat Noir and the Café de la Nouvelle Athènes. In 1895, Carabin crafted 600 nude albumen prints, all of which found a home in the permanent collection of the Musée d'Orsay. Renowned artists such as Degas, Monet, Rodin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Renoir were avid collectors of Carabin's work, making the prime example of an artists artist.
