Mumyoi-Neriage Guinomi by LNT Ito Sekisui
Happy New Year! May 2016 bring more Light-Love-Beauty into your hearts and homes! We start the year here at RYYG with a rare gem. Ito Sekisui (b.1941) was named a Living National Treasure for his mumyoi pottery in 2003. Ito's family has been potting on Sado Island since the 17th century. He makes very few pieces in any form a year and even less in the style seen on this guinomi, in fact the first one I've ever seen; a transparent-glazed (making it hard to photograph) mumyoi-neriage flower-motif guinomi. In perfect condition with a signed box,4cm.tallx9.5cm. wide, signed on base, EMS included. Kampai to Life!
