Large Red Vessel by Ogawa Machiko

This is a circa 1987 rare rusty-red toned vessel with distinctive patterns; a similar designed work is in the major 'Nihon Toji' book, of which a photo is seen here. A museum piece in perfect condition with a recently signed box, exhibition sticker from that period still on base, 13.0-5cm.tallx40.2x35.
