Ken Fujiwara Bizen Tea Bowl Size: Approximately 13.5 cm diameter x 7.9 cm height Comes with a wooden box, no other accessories ・This is a slightly shallow, washbasin-shaped Bizen ware tea bowl. Many works by this artist have a deep well, so the shape of this tea bowl may be unusual. Also, the design of the high foot, which is carved out at the side of the foot and curves outward, is not often seen. The solid skeletal form of the vessel is as well-regarded as ever, and it has a dignified presence both in appearance and in hand. The linear mark on the side of the foot is likely where a stone was dragged during the carving process (photo 16). Ken Fujiwara (1924-1977) studied under Kei Fujiwara, Touyou Kaneshige, Sozan, and Rosanjin. He pursued a unique Bizen ware style, distinct from other artists, based on the solid framework of the Fujiwara lineage. He was a leading figure in the Bizen ware world, but his early death is regrettable. Due to the nature of pottery, crazing may occur. ◎Please purchase the item after confirming the photos and description. ◎Items are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. ◎Price negotiations, holds, and exclusive sales are not accepted. ◎Recycled materials will be used for packaging. ◎We accept bulk purchases, but discounts of more than 10% are not available.
