Sculpture-Vase / Shino / Mashiko / Takauchi Shugo
Shino Vase by Takauchi Shugo
Mashiko-based Takauchi Shugo's (b.1937) creations always have a dynamic energy and charm about them, he's truly one of Japan's most outstanding veteran ceramic artists. His work has been shown at major overseas exhibitions at the V&A and the Smithsonian as well as domestically at the wonderful Musee Tomo in Tokyo. Here is a multi-faceted azuki-toned Shino vase with a deeply pitted glaze scheme. With every slight turn the work takes on a new facade; a fine work in perfect condition with a signed box, 22.5cm.tallx13.5x11.5, signed on base.
