IN TOTO
If you read my blog, it is
hard to miss the fact that I really enjoy good Oribe pots only slightly behind
Oni-Shino and wood fired pieces and in looking at this detail shot, it is safe
to say this is good Oribe where the thick glaze and bidoro are related by fire.
Illustrated is a close-up of the mouth of a Tsukamoto Haruhiko bottle vase
where the glaze acts as a luscious skin to the feldspar and sand rich clay and
where the Oribe has pooled and built up there are areas of outstanding richness
that could fascinate for a lifetime and
then some. With the right light, the thick accumulation fluctuates between deep
green and soft brown tones like lapping waves and looking a bit like it was
created deep in the bowels of the earth
over millions of years, producing these gems that rest so casually on the
furrowed surface of the lip. Hyperbole perhaps but there are times when objects
speak loudly and that is certainly the case with this provocative detail where
the piece in toto certainly does not disappoint.
