Ito / Living National Treasure / Mumyoi / Tokkuri-Sake Flask-Vase
Mumyoi Tokkuri-Flask by Ito Sekisui V
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. They use a local red clay and thus the color of the wares brilliantly contrasts with the black smoked areas. Here is a prime example of that in a smaller sized tokkuri-flask measuring 13cm.tallx11.3cm and dating to 1996, in perfect condition with a signed box.
