Jar / Shigaraki / Izu / Nagaoka Masami
All in all a contemporary masterpiece of a Shigaraki large jar in terms of firing and form, plus Nagaoka's added touch around the lip. Nagaoka Masami is an anagama master of the first order; in perfect condition with a signed box--a bit less if no box--and is 42cm.tallx38, signed on base. Nagaoka also commented this is possibly the best jar he's ever fired....
It offers over 450 English pages and 4300+ photos on Japan's pottery scene and the styles and traditions of Japanese pottery.
