STRIGIFORMES

When I first saw this vase, I couldn't help but conjure up memories of the original TWIN PEAKS TV show. For those of you that remember the show, you will recall the owl iconography that popped up during the short lived series. That aside, this tall and boldly decorated owl vase shows off some wonderful brushwork for which Suzuki Takuji is quite well known for whether it is under or over the glaze his use of a brush doesn't disappoint. In this case the dark black brushwork and decoration is under a soft, Persian blue style glaze that just adds to the decoration of the two distinct, yet different strigiformes that flank either side of the vase with medallions encircling each and linear designs on each side adding to the vertical feel of the full round body. At nearly 13" tall, this vase has a great presence and gives an insight as skill set of this creative potter. If you are so inclined, you can see more of this vase over on my Trocadero marketplace by following this link;
