A KNOCK ON THE DOOR

While working in the studio this morning loading a bisque there was a knock at the door, the Post person arrived with a box, pots had arrived. I knew these two pots were coming through an exchange of emails last week and the ever useful tracking info, I had planned accordingly so that I could photograph the pieces and get them up on Trocadero today.  The first pot is a Honami Koetsu utsushi of his famous Raku bowl, KAMIYA made by Sasaki Shoraku that is a neat piece to handle with an electric surface of gloss and depth. the second piece is a tsubo by Kato Kenji best known for his Persian blue pots but who is equally as well known for his vivid overglaze enamel platters and tsubo. The brushwork on the pot is just alive and fluid, just what one would hope for from this potter.

If you would like to see more pictures of these two pieces, please have a look over at my Trocadero marketplace;
