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; https://www.trocadero.com/stores/albedo3studio/catalog/
