This pair of signed Gyokusan Japanese Satsuma vases showcases a striking black and gold aesthetic, crafted from earthenware pottery. Each vase features hand-painted gold gilt decoration and is adorned with an elegant bamboo motif. The gold paint is applied with fine detail to create texture and depth in the bamboo stalks and leaves. Gyokuzan refers to a prominent master artist associated with high-quality Meiji-period Satsuma ware. Gyokuzan was a pivotal figure in Satsuma pottery, known for sophisticated designs during the Meiji period (1868–1912). While traditional Satsuma often uses an ivory crackled glaze, "black and gold" variants are highly prized for their dramatic contrast. The signature on each Satsuma vase may be that of Shibayama, followed by the character for "painted by". It is a recognized artist signature found on high-quality Satsuma ware from the Meiji period (1868–1912). The use of gold lacquer-like gilding on a deep black background is a hallmark of "Black Satsuma...

A wonderful gem of a piece by famed American/California ceramicist Beatrice Wood featuring her highly coveted, gorgeously radiant turquoise luster glaze. A beautiful design with a delicate long neck rising from a circular base. Classic and timeless. Signed by Beatrice in her customary "Beato" on the underside of the base (with noted inventory number). Would be an amazing addition to any Mid-Century Modern pottery collection or personal collectors of her work or a fabulous stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. One of the best Beatrice Wood's luster glaze vases we have come across in quite a while. Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is considered by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later become famed in her own right for her distinct luster-glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist". Her other awards include: 1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California) 1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film 1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council 1988 Distinguished Service Award, Arizona State University 1987 Fellow of American Craft Council Women’s Art Caucus, National Award (NCECA Award) 1986 Women’s Building Award 1984 Living Treasure of California 1983 Symposium Award of the Institute for Ceramic History 1961 Goodwill Ambassador from USA...
