Chaire-Tea Caddy / Tamba / Tamba / Ichino Masahiko
Chaire-Lidded Vessel by Ichino Masahiko
Ichino Masahiko (b.1961) is a leader in today's ceramic world here in Japan. I recently visited him and selected a few smaller works including a set of five plate, two yunomi, tokkuri and guinomi, chawan and this chaire-lidded vessel. The top is also ceramic--although it looks like a stone--with a gold-glazed underside. In perfect condition with a signed box, 9.8cm.tall, signed on base.
