Silver-Glazed Chawan by Ogawa Machiko
The contrast of stoneware-clay and darkened silver is quite engaging on this bowl by Ogawa Machiko(b.1946). In fact, one of Japan's important and hard to define aesthetic words--yugen--can be felt in this Ogawa chawan. Ogawa, as many know, is one of Japan's most important and award-winning women ceramic artists, more about her in our archives or at e-yakimono.net. This bowl has a very organic form with a complex glazing pattern within. In perfect condition with a top-level signed box, 8.5cm.tallx13.3.
