Kogo / Porcelain / Saga / Ono Hakuko
Kogo by Ono Hakuko
Hakuko Ono(1925-1996) was only one of a handful of Japanese women potters to win the prestigious Japan Ceramic Society Prize, that was in 1980. This was due to her mastery of a technique that dates back to Sung dynasty China but was used mainly in the Chia Ching era(1522-66) of the Ming dynasty. She became enthralled with the style after seeing the work of Living National Treasure Hajime Kato(1900-1968) in 1964. The technique involves using cut gold foil pieces to create a design on a porcelain body; it's an extremely difficult technique to master. Here is quite a masterpiece kogo by Ono; it radiates. In perfect condition with a signed box, 2.7cm.tallx7.2, signed on base
