Kamiya Ryuen, Japan
A high-quality shohin-sized pot by the highly collectable, deceased artist, Kamiya Ryuen.
This refined piece has a formal hexagonal design. With thin walls and refined build, this elegant pot has a basal band in relief and walls that flare out to the rim. Ryuen’s attention to detail and quality of finish is extraordinary, and the level of refinement speaks for itself. The pot is burnished smooth to the touch and has a wonderful overall aesthetic for shohin conifers.
Ryuen was born in 1929 in Tokyo, and is celebrated as arguably the most proficient ever at making high-quality unglazed shohin pots through the formidable 'kurinuki' technique. Hand-carved from a block of high-quality clay is the epitome of pot building techniques, resulting in a pot with greater structural integrity and strength.
In excellent condition.
Signed by the artist - reads: 流苑 (Ryuen).
External measurements (max): 12.6cm x 11.2 x 6.5cm
