About the Item

An exquisite Mingei (Japanese folk art) pottery vase by master Japanese potter Shoji Hamada (1894-1978) - a fine example of his popular two-color glaze (a sumptuous tenmoku and Nuka glaze) Mashiko-yaki ware work made in the Tochigi Prefecture Mashiko area, famous for its potter's clay. The original Hamada stamped/sealed and signed tomobako (wooden) box is included with the vase. Rare to find such a beautiful piece in such impeccable condition with its original signed box. A written (in Japanese) profile of Hamada that originally came with the vase is also included. Shoji Hamada was designated a Living National Treasure in Japan in 1955. In 1968 he received Japan's highest artistic award the Order of Culture. His work can be found in collections and museums worldwide including Tokyo’s Japan Folk Art Museum and The Tate Museum, London UK. Would be a great addition to any Hamada or Japanese/Asian pottery collection or make for an eye catching stand alone accent piece in about any setting. Vase Dimensions: 8" high, 3.75" diameter Box dimensions: 9.5" high, 4.5" wide , 4.5" deep.
