| An ash glazed cylinder by Gifu artist Kondo Suiko enclosed in the original signed wooden box. From the ragged edges cling Shizen-yu pine ash glaze, which runs down the sides, forming large drips about the exposed terracotta clay at the base. The vase is 5 inches (13 cm) tall, 4 inches (10 cm) diameter and in fine condition. Born in 1945 in Nigata prefecture, a cold industrial city on the West coast of Northern Japan, Seiko would have been surrounded with utilitarian pottery as a child. The artist studied under Koyama Fujiyo before settling in central Gifu prefecture, on the fringes of Mino and Echizen territory. One can sense the strong connection with Mingei ceramics the artist must have felt in the simple lines of this vessel, which dates circa 1975. | ||||||||||||
