Informal Information:

An early, first rate handmade piece from Gyouzan. A classic design, possibly mould made, definitely hand finished. The dedication reads "Exhibiton of masterpieces", so a special piece made for a show.

I'm guessing it's from before his later handmade signature style developed. The clay colour and patina are fantastic, a special pot from this master potter.

Condition: Used, patina, small chips to two feet (see pics), slight wobble, otherwise 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.
