| Richly glazed studio pottery bottle vase in tear drop form with “Wakazan” seal mark on a brown base, ca.1900. A thick olive green and brown glaze covers the heavily potted stoneware body. Shades of blue and gold flambe are randomly scattered over the body, with a gold glaze drip around the neck beneath the lip. The interior of the mouth radiates with lustrous and brilliant shades of blue and gold glaze in flambe drips. Functional folk-craft products or “mingei” are endowed with a beauty directly connected with their utility – a beauty that is simple, humble and unassuming. The apparent simplicity of this vase belies the many subtleties which are noticed when the piece is seen and handled. The glazing on this piece is outstanding, making it a wonderful example of a piece of ceramics upon which the kiln gods smiled during the firing process. (Ex. collection R. B. Caldwell of Dallas, TX. He is a collector well known for his knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture, particularly in the area of tea ceremony ceramics.) Condition is excellent, with two small chips in the foot ring where the olive green glaze drips were broken off. Overall dimensions: 10” high, 6 ˝” diameter. | ||||||||||||
