TALES FROM THE BOOKSHELVES

I posted up a picture of a Tsukigata vase being used as a rather exotic bookend and had wondered, what the bookend may be at the other end? The collector sent me a few photos and this is one of the pictures from his DVD shelves which I thought was kind of neat, an old Oribe vase form that I had made quite some time back. Of course I knew he owned it, I sent it to him as part of a swap for a group of hard to find 80s cds, but I was unaware how or where it was displayed. I have shown this vase on my blog years ago as part of a pair that were meant to match with one going to one coast and one going to the other. This Oribe vase was thrown, altered, reassembled, incised and glazed in one of my original Oribe glazes and it is quite nice to know it is at home with Dexter, Blade and a Tsukigata Nahiko all telling their tales from the bookshelves.
