Kagayō Shino Saké Flask by Suzuki Tomio

Description

Kagayō shino is one of the more recent additions to Suzuki Tomio's expansive glazing repertoire.  It was born from a single creative impulse - to bring together a number of elements from different shino techniques and present them all in a multi-layered collage on clay.  After months of trial and error, Suzuki has created a new signature glaze that beautifully melds the citrus peel texture of classical shino, hints of aka shino's rust reds, and the shimmering quality of his yōhen-kin (golden) shino glaze.

The results of Suzuki Tomio's efforts are proudly on display here in this attractive saké flask.  Beautifully faceted and imbued with all the splendor of kagayō shino, it makes the proud addition to any saké vessel collection.

Suzuki Tomio's shino pottery is held in private collections around the world and, in 2011, was acquired by the Philadelphia Museum of Art for display in their East Asian Art collection.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
