Informal Information:

First rate handmade piece from Gyouzan. The shape is simple and strong, resting on perfectly proprtioned stepped feet, the handmade nature can be seen in the small details like the slight rounding of the rim and finessing of edges on the feet. The clay also has incredible depth of colour and fine texture. As well as bearing his signature underneath, there are stamps to each long side - clearly meant as an exhibition pot where his name can't be ignored!

This is from Gyouzans handmade signature line of works, not to be mistaken for his production pots. These are a big step up - his finest pieces.

Condition: Used, patina, excellent.

Nakano Gyouzan, Tokoname, is renowned for his glazed and particularly unglazed pots. His pots have featured at almost every Kokufu-Ten for more than 30 years. He is a potter from Tokoname, you can find videos of him making pots on Youtube. Mould made pots are excellent, hand made works are masterpieces. He makes some absolutely huge pots, and latterly he has explored new ideas of pots and stands combined. An artist never at rest.
