| An unusual Yunomi cup covered in heavily pitted thick blue glaze over a body incised with a ring of small circles by the Avant-Garde LNT Shimizu Uichi enclosed in the original signed and stamped wooden box. It has an incredible earthy feel, with smooth white inside contrasting the rough blue. The cup is uniquely stamped on the base and stands 3-1/2 inches (9 cm) tall, just less than 2-1/2 inches (6 cm) diameter. Uichi was born in Kyoto the son of a ceramic dealer. Discarding the family business he apprenticed in plastic arts under Ishiguro Munemaro. His work retains some principal elements of his teachers style while incorporating an understated elegance and avant-garde spirit of challenge uncommon for his time. He was first exhibited at the Nitten in 1951, receiving numerous awards there since. He also took the gold medal at the Prague International Exhibition, and was at the Brussels World Exposition. He is in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum, Kyoto Museum of Modern art and the Freer Gallery among others. | |||||||||
