Modern Japanese Studio Pottery Oribe Vase by Ken Matsuzaki
By Ken Matsuzaki
Located in Atlanta, GA
A contemporary studio ceramic vase made by Japanese potter Ken Matsuzaki (1950-). The vase showcases a geometrical spindle form, rather distinguishingly modern. It is covered with a thick dripping Oribe green glaze partially revealing the unglazed part of the body, which is decorated with scrolling pattern in left by ash glaze. The work is rooted in both Yohen Shino glaze technique and Oribe tradition, but it is an innovative reinterpretation of the ancient aesthetic. The base is marked with the artist's signature. The vase comes with an inscribed tomobako storage box with the artist's bio and wrapping cloth with seal. The vase measures 9"h x 5.5"w x 4"d. Ken Matsuzaki’s haptic ceramics bring a contemporary approach to traditional Japanese ceramicware, most notably 16th-century Oribe pottery...
