Aloof Pegasus Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Posted March 15, 2015 I think Steve wants it, Henry. But if he decides otherwise I'll post on the thread to let you know next day or so. Quote
Henry Wilson Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Cheers. That would be great. Do you know how old it is? Quote
Aloof Pegasus Posted March 15, 2015 Author Report Posted March 15, 2015 I don't know the age for certain. I do have another Raku bowl with an inscription on the inside of the box lid from a monk who died at the end of the 18th c stating that the bowl was thrown by Kichizaemon VII or VIII, I can't remember which. This 18th c bowl has a similar feeling and patina to the one for sale, but more wear inside, that characteristic beige look where the glaze has been stripped away through use. In the first post I said Meiji since no one can take exception to that dating. But I don't believe it is 19th c although I could be wrong. Here also are a couple more pics showing the damage more clearly. If you tap the bowl with yr fingernail while balanced in yr palm it sounds dull from the cracks but it doesn't leak and is used regularly. Quote

If only we had a How-To section.... Oh wait.... http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/15966-private-messaging/ Brian Quote
Steve Waszak Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Brian, Would definitely appreciate a pottery/ceramics category here. As Christian says, some of us are as devoted to yakimono as we are to nihonto/tosogu... Cheers, Steve Quote
Bernard Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Agree with Steve. Here are some pics of my last purchase (2 days ago). Bernard D Quote

cabowen Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Ok, hope no one minds if I post a few more..... Two kuro tanba by one of my new favorite potters (Onishi Masafumi) and one iga... 2 Quote
Aloof Pegasus Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 New one for sale, a summer bowl this time. See separate listing for more pics/details. Quote
Bernard Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 One more Iga tokkuri and a guinomi (Kazuhiro Fukushima). Bernard D 2 Quote
Gasam Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Hi all, I love these bowls! Thinking of getting one or two, but is situation same as with nihonto, ie easy to go wrong unless studied a good deal first, fakes are about etc? Best regards, Gard S. Quote
Steve Waszak Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Great to see so much Iga-yaki here! Brian, it appears we need a ceramics forum... Cheers, Steve P.S. Chris, that Iga tokkuri is especially appealing. Thanks for sharing! Quote

I almost bought either that guinomi or one very similar. Fukushima is another of my recent favs...The iga tokkuri I posted above is by him! Quote
Bernard Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Yes Chris, they come from the same gallery, as well as the Shuei Fujioka in post 37. And I think I know where you got the photo of the Fukushima tokkuri you posted...here is another one, from the same source Bernard D Quote

Aloof Pegasus Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 Yes she is special. I was in contact with her agent to go and see a firing but I just missed a then recent one. Then life got in the way. I've got a few of her things, that volcanic looking sakazuki with the molten inside is one if hers. The outside feels like it was ripped out of a mountain. This one. Quote
cabowen Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Excellent! I am hoping to tour around and see lots of potters when I am in Japan this summer. 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Maybe not just a pottery thread, Brian. How about "Japanese culture," "Asian antiques," or something similar? That would allow pottery, netsuke, yoroi, abumi, & a few hundred other sale categories to be lumped together. I do wonder if that might not get out of control, though.... Ken Quote
Aloof Pegasus Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 Korean alcohol cup circa 1900-10. Minimalist tour de force, it wasn't expensive and although I prefer modern pieces to antique ones I probably use it the most, often with an Iga tokkuri. 1 Quote
Aloof Pegasus Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Posted March 18, 2015 That tokkuri is another Aiko Watanabe, Chris. Feminine feeling desho! I'll post some more pics of the Iwamoto Tetsuya 'wild' tokkuri later. Quote

Hello Gard Sorry for the late reply. A good resource for many aspects of J-Pots is Robert Yellin's site e-yakimono.net Quote
Bernard Posted March 19, 2015 Report Posted March 19, 2015 Thank you Philip for posting this eye-catching tokkuri by Tetsuya Kowari. He is also the maker of this "Shino guinomi covered with ash" I found today in an online shop in Japan. It's my first guinomi of this kind and, from the pictures, I find it very appealing.

Aloof Pegasus Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Posted March 20, 2015 Nice one Bernard. Dai Ginjo, mate⛅ for the christening! I'll join you with this mild not to say humble take on Shigaraki by Aiko Watanabe in 2014. Cheers Quote
Bernard Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 You seem to be a fan of Aiko Watanabe...I don't own any ceramic by her, but I love the pieces you post ! Bernard D Quote
