Kagayō Shino Platter by Suzuki Tomio

Description

To further enhance their tactile appeal, Suzuki Tomio approaches every unglazed pot as a landscape architect would an undeveloped plot of earth.  It first requires slow, thoughtful sculpting before anything is lain upon it.  As a result, his clay creations are renowned for their terraced surfaces, ridges, and winding vistas.

This stately shino platter exemplifies the artist's unique approach to pottery making in every way.  It can be used for a number of different purposes: for serving guests grand sushi assortments, for displaying ikebana arrangements, or simply as a display piece.  Regardless of its use, it promises to attract quite a lot of attention.

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.
