This guinomi (sake cup) features a gray glaze speckled with dots of white, evoking the quaint charm of the first flurries of spring snow. Its form, as if naturally shaped over many years, fits comfortably in the hand. The stand has a slightly reddish clay color that accentuates its rustic quality. A handcrafted piece, it gains character and expression with use.
Koie Ryoji (1938- )
Ryoji is an author known as a potter who has produced a great number of abstract works and who continues to gain recognition not just in Japan, but globally. He holds exhibitions in Japan and all over the world.
He uses materials and techniques for his works that are utterly different and unique. The appeal of his dynamic and yet subtle style is its constant creative urge, pursuing the possibilities of what can be made from clay and fire. At the same time, his touch can also be felt in his smaller works, such as tableware, and his fans are always fascinated by what he will create next.
