Black Shiseki inclusions burst through the white glaze covering this thickly potted Tsubo by Kimura Morinobu enclosed in the original signed wooden box. A hint of green ash dusts the shoulder and flavors the rim. The Tsubo is very tactile, the texture pleasant to see and feel. It is 8-1/2 inches (22 cm) tall, roughly the same diameter and in excellent condition.

Kato Shuntei III was born in 1960, son of the second generation Shuntei (1927-1995) in Seto city, Aichi prefecture...

The feldspar covering this unusual torn and ragged form by Hayashi Shotaro is dominated by fire-colored red. It is quite an amazing thing to behold. The body is hollowed out from a solid block of clay, the sides cut away into an abstract star shape which has then been gouged, scraped and torn, then capped by a delicate umbrella of red-orange. It is 8 inches (19 cm) diameter, 7 inches (17 cm) tall and in excellent condition...

Huge swaths of clay have been violently torn away, the raw clay charred red where it is not covered by the crawling white glaze, as if the glaze were not applied with heat, but had settled there after a violent mountain storm...
