Offered by: J R Richards

Description
Pair of Porcelain vases by celebrated Japanese Ceramicist Kato Tsubusa.
Four sided with jaded edges covered with celadon Glaze and flat porcelain finish.
Custom Boxes signed by the artist.

Born into a family with a history of pottery making that stretches back to the Japanese Momoyama Period (1573-1615), Kato Tsubusa learned the art form at a young age. Even though he was not initially interested in ceramics, he decided to pursue pottery making after travelling extensively in his youth. Upon graduating from the Tajimi City Ceramic Design Institute in 1979, Kato entered a studio where he mixed clay and worked on mass-produced pots. Within five years, Kato had built his own kiln in Tomika-cho and exhibited at the Asahi Ceramic Art Exposition. The rapid pace at which his career took off speaks to the true talent that he is.

Message from Seller:

I became interested in the Ceramic Arts; specifically Ancient Chinese Pottery, when my brother Marc; also an art dealer, introduced it to me over 20 years ago. Since then I traveled throughout Asia; including Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea, in search for those special pieces that appeal to the discerning collector, as well as the Designer Market.
