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.
This stately yōhen-kin shino platter exemplifies his unique approach to pottery making in every way. Deeply cut troughs in the claybody spiral outward and are accented with heavy applications of feldspar and bold, energized brushed details.
The piece can be used for a number of different purposes: for serving 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 from envious guests.
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.
