Hajimo Kato Hand Built Wood Fired Twin Handled Studio Pottery Vase

About the Item

A truly wonderful design piece, and one of my favorite, is this Japanese hand-built wood fired twin handled studio pottery vase of sculptural form by Hajimo Kato (b.1947) dating from the 20th century. The stoneware vase is heavily hand potted with a hand coiled ridged pattern to the body. The vase has a pear shape rounded body with a narrow neck and rounded slightly distorted bowl shape top with a raised rim pinched to one side and with drooping pinched crudely shaped loop handles applied to either side. The vase is decorated in red and brown glazes with green elements run down the body with thick trails with small areas of unglazed patterning to the body and with textured lava like glazes applied around top and down one side of the body. The vase has an incised makers mark for Hajimo Kato to the base. The vase came with a collection of similar pieces and some retaining collection numbers attached to the bases. Probably acquired from the Harlequin Gallery who represent this work. In good condition.

Beatrice Wood Signed Midcentury California Studio Pottery Luster Glaze Vase
By Beatrice Wood
Located in Studio City, CA
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...
