This lovely foliated bowl by Kamada Kōji is done in yuteki
tenmoku. Peering inside it gives the impression that one is standing
on a hilltop at midnight watching the star-filled sky. Technically,
these are spots of iron oxide, sometimes called "oil spots", which
form on the surface of the glaze while cooling in the kiln. A small
amount of cobalt adds mysterious hints of blue.
Both beautiful and functional, the bowl promises to earn the admiration
of honored guests. It is ideally
suited for serving side
dishes and fresh fruit desserts.
See
Kamada Kōji's
40th Year Commemorative Exhibition for more works from his 2008
collection.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by
the artist. Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
