Kuro-Oribe Chawan by Takiguchi Kiheiji
Takiguchi Kiheiji (b.1937) is one of our favorite veteran Mino potters who for decades has created some of Mino's finest Oribe works that include so-Oribe, Narumi-Oribe, Yashichida Oribe and Kuro Oribe. Kuro--black--Oribe is characterized by an asymmetrical-distorted form, usually called a kutsu-gata or shoe form. Here is a classic Takiguchi Kuro-Oribe Kutsu-gata chawan with brush designs and inlay drying persimmons. It's perfectly balanced with a fine kodai-foot and superb 'clay flavor.' A museum piece in perfect condition, 8.5cm.tallx13.8x11.5, signed on base.
