Japanese Hand Glazed Vase by Tokuda Yasokichi III, Living National Treasure

About the Item

Tokuda Yasokichi III (1933–2009), doyen of Japan’s Kutani porcelain kilns, was elevated in 1997 to the rank of “living national treasure” – the highest accolade awarded by the Japanese government to masters of traditional arts – in recognition of his unique colored glaze (saiyu) technique. Coming from a long line of Kutani porcelain artists, Tokuda Yasokichi III won worldwide acclaim for his carefully applied color glazes drawn from a palette of up to 70 distinct hues. His works are found in leading museums throughout the world, including the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. This eared vase features the artist’s signature blue and green glazes that flow down the shoulders of the beautifully crafted body. This is a rare opportunity for acquiring a piece of historical import. The artist’s signature appears on the base in red, and the vase is contained in the original wooden case signed and sealed by the artist. Dimensions: H 10.5 in, D 4.5 in.

  • Kaneshige Toyo National Treasure Signed Japanese Bizen Pottery Sake Bottle Vase
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A beautiful, perfectly shaped and balanced antique Bizen ware shibui sake bottle (tokkuri) vase by renowned Japanese master potter/artist Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) featuring a unique natural, wonderfully textured organic forming ash glaze. Kaneshige is universally considered to be the founder of modern Bizen pottery. In 1956, Kaneshige was certified as a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Heritage) for his work in Bizen Ware pottery/ceramics. Bizen Ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of the Okayama prefecture. It is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware). The piece is signed/ sealed on the base with one of Kaneshige's traditional incised marks. A rather striking and engaging work. One of the best Kaneshige works we have come across. Scarce and hard to find in such an excellent condition. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese/Asian pottery or Bizen Ware collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Kaneshige's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, Seto, Japan Brooklyn Museum, NY Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi, Japan Honolulu Art Museum, HI Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, Kasama, Japan Indiana Art...
