Suzuki Goro (1941- )
Did not have a particular teacher. Started making ceramics through unique research and study in 1957 and was selected for the Nitten Exhibition for the first time in 1962. Was selected for the Kofukai Exhibition for the first time in 1964. Won the Top Prize at the Asahi Ceramic Exhibition in 1966, the Award of Excellence at the Asahi Ceramic Exhibition in 1967, the Honorable Mention Award at the Chunichi International Ceramic Exhibition in 1971, the ’75 Award at the Asahi Ceramic Exhibition in 1975, and in recent years, the Japan Ceramic Society Award in 2002. During this time, held private exhibitions at department stores and galleries across Japan every year since his first private exhibition in Japan at the Seibu Department Store in Ikebukuro in 1977.
Researched traditional glazes for Kizeto ware, Oribe ware, Shino ware, and others and produced vessels and teacups with innovative designs. Receives high praise by specialists and the general public for his very unique range of works.
This Oribe glazed cup is a work by Suzuki Goro, one of the leading figures in contemporary Japanese ceramics. Measuring approximately 10.5 cm in height and 8.2 cm in width, the cup is characterized by a dynamic, organic form that reflects Suzuki's signature style. Bold throwing rings encircle the body, with vibrant green Oribe glaze flowing unevenly over the textured surface, revealing both the natural clay body and the glaze in alternating layers. This interplay creates a poetic visual rhythm reminiscent of rain cascading over a mountain landscape. The interior is generously glazed, enhancing both visual depth and practical usability. The artist’s signature is impressed on the base, authenticating the piece. Suzuki’s work reinterprets traditional Mino ware with avant-garde sensibility, marrying rustic strength with modern expressiveness. This cup is a prime example of his creative spirit and serves as both a functional object and a collectible artwork in the realm of contemporary Japanese pottery.
