Yunomi / Tamura Koichi
Yunomi by Living National Treasure Tamura Koichi
Tamura Koichi (1918-1987) was named a Living National Treasure in 1986 for his iron glaze designs or tetsu-e. Here is such a tetsu-e yunomi in a rare form not often seen in Japan. I wonder if Tamura took the form from Delft wares. In any case, the flower design is light and graceful while the soft beige glazing is warm and inviting. It has a good balance and weightiness in the hand. In perfect condition with a signed box, 8.6cm.tall and 6.8cm.wide, stamped on base.
