Thick burnt red glaze wraps the surface of this vessel belted with a second coating of sheer crawling white by Kato Toyohisa enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Nezumi Shino Hanaire. It is 24 cm (9-1/2 inches) tall and in excellent condition.
Kato Toyohisa was born in 1962. His work is both original and fresh and his challenging pursuit of Mino ceramics is evident in both his contemporary pieces and his traditional ones. He first exhibited at the Asahi Ceramics Exhibition in 1983, and was awarded the rising star award. That same year he was awarded at the Tajimi City (home to innumerable Mino potteries) Art Exhibition. He has also exhibited and or been prized at the Tokai Dento Kogei ten, Mino Togei Ten, Issui Kai Ten and Gendai Chato Ten (modern Tea Ceramics Exhibition). In addition is a long list of Private exhibitions both domestic and abroad.
