Japanese Bizen Yaki Ware Signed Stamped Meiji Vase Pot

About the Item

A wonderful gem of a piece. Beautifully fired and colored. Japanese Bizen-Yaki pottery which dates back hundreds of years (its heyday was in the 16th century) is recognizable by its rustic quality and imperfections that were said to mirror those in the natural world. It was made in and around Bizen City city in Okayama prefecture (formerly Bizen province).  Bizen-yaki is known for its naturally hard, and rust-colored (due to the high iron content in the local clay) texture and appearance. How long the clay is fired ultimately determines its final color and finished look. The element of surprise in the process is fully embraced. We believe this piece is from the Meija Era but could be older. It is signed or stamped with two marks on the lower edge by the maker. Would be a wonderful addition to any Japanese or Asian art pottery and art collection of stand out eye-catching accent piece. Dimensions: 3.5" high, 3.5" diameter.

  • Kaneshige Toyo National Treasure Signed Japanese Bizen Pottery Sake Bottle Vase
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A beautiful, perfectly shaped and balanced antique Bizen ware shibui sake bottle (tokkuri) vase by renowned Japanese master potter/artist Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) featuring a unique natural, wonderfully textured organic forming ash glaze. Kaneshige is universally considered to be the founder of modern Bizen pottery. In 1956, Kaneshige was certified as a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Heritage) for his work in Bizen Ware pottery/ceramics. Bizen Ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of the Okayama prefecture. It is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware). The piece is signed/ sealed on the base with one of Kaneshige's traditional incised marks. A rather striking and engaging work. One of the best Kaneshige works we have come across. Scarce and hard to find in such an excellent condition. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese/Asian pottery or Bizen Ware collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Kaneshige's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, Seto, Japan Brooklyn Museum, NY Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi, Japan Honolulu Art Museum, HI Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, Kasama, Japan Indiana Art...
