sabi Posted January 20, 2023 Report Posted January 20, 2023 Good morning NMB from NH, USA. Up for grabs today is a wonderful ware from one of Bizen's rising stars, Yokoyama Naoki. Known for both his modern advances in kneaded Bizen as well as an eye for classic styles such as this one - a suribachi inspired sake cup that harkens back to the everyday wares that brought the style into prominence. The full range of Bizen effects are on display here from the purple body color, flashes of fire color and even goma splattered on the interior. The roughly folded over foot adds weight and allows the cup to settle into the hand and is reminiscent of a bold uchikaeshi mimi. This cup also sports a peach-shaped cross section as seen from above, I don't believe this was intentional and it gives the vessel an extra level of charm. A fantastic piece and value that will no doubt impress its new owner, whether it will be used to drink from or simply put on a shelf to display. Comes with its original box, cloth and paperwork as pictured. Measures 7 x 4.5cm. $100 via PayPal F&F to the USA, $120 worldwide. Thanks for looking! 🙏👺
sabi Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Posted January 22, 2023 Hoping to move this quickly so let's see if there are any takers at $80 US / $100 worldwide. Thanks for looking!
sabi Posted February 21, 2023 Author Report Posted February 21, 2023 Final bump before it goes back into the collection.
Fuuten Posted February 26, 2023 Report Posted February 26, 2023 Just seeing the box turned me on! I think I have one cup by this potter (no box and I believe without mark or sign). Is there any discernable mark on this one? Bumped for pleasure!

I'm away from home at the moment but can get a pic of it tomorrow if you'd like.
