About the Item

An exquisite, beautifully crafted tall Mingei vase by master Japanese potter Shoji Hamada. A rare find due to its size and impeccable condition. Measures 8 ½”h x 6"w. Condition is perfect with no chips, cracks or flaws. The beautiful glaze in brown and tan tones reflects his wax resistant process. This vase was displayed formerly at the Mingei International Museum, Balboa Park, San Diego. A document concerning provenance is included with the piece. Shoji Hamada (1884-1978) along with Bernard Howell Leach is considered co-founder of modern day pottery, blending Eastern and Western techniques. Hamada was an important member of the mingei folk art movement, focusing on aesthetic as well as function in his ceramic creations. Hamada was trained at Tokyo Technical College and became greatly inspired by the works of Bernard Leach, so much so that he traveled to St. Ives, United Kingdom with Leach and worked there for three years. Afterwards, he established his own studio in Mashiko, Japan. Shoji Hamada was declared a "Living National Treasure" in 1955 and died on January 5, 1978. His work can be found in collections and museums worldwide including Tokyos Japan Folk Art Museum and The Tate Museum, London UK.
