This is a "Madara Karatsu Shaku-bachi" (a large Karatsu ware bowl) by the fourth-generation Touichi Nakano, a master craftsman of Karatsu ware. It is a magnificent piece with a diameter of 33cm. It comes with a wooden box, further enhancing the value of the work. The soft white base characteristic of Madara Karatsu, combined with the glaze that naturally flows down, creates a landscape that seems to capture a moment of beauty from the natural world within the vessel. In particular, this size is striking as a food container or serving dish, and possesses the presence to be the centerpiece of a tea ceremony or banquet. This work, where the certain skill of the fourth-generation Touichi Nakano and the rich expression of Madara Karatsu are fused, has excellent value for both appreciation and practical use, and is a must-see piece for collectors and Karatsu ware enthusiasts. ★Dimensions★ Diameter: 33cm Height: 7.4cm Thank you for viewing.
