Masuo Ojima Signed Large Japanese Asian Wood Fired Studio Pottery Ceramic Vase
About the Item
A wonderful and quite engaging wood-fired ceramic pottery vase by Japanese-American master potter Masuo Ojima. The texture and color shifts from silver greys to blues, coppers, and golds are amazing.
The vase is signed on the base by Ojima and also has his impressed chop mark/seal.
Masuo Ojima is from the Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan in 1949 into a household of traditional craftsmen (his father was a cabinet maker and his grandfather worked with clay tiles). He migrated to the United States eventually settling in Los Angels where he currently lives and works today.
Would be a great addition to any collectors of his work or Japanese Asian ceramics/pottery or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.
Ojima's work can be found in numerous collections and museums worldwide including the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC, the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy, the Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft, Louisville KY, and the Triton Museum of Art, Santa Clarita, CA.

- Beatrice Wood Signed Midcentury California Studio Pottery Luster Glaze VaseBy Beatrice WoodLocated in Studio City, CAA wonderful gem of a piece by famed American/California ceramicist Beatrice Wood featuring her highly coveted, gorgeously radiant turquoise luster glaze. A beautiful design with a delicate long neck rising from a circular base. Classic and timeless. Signed by Beatrice in her customary "Beato" on the underside of the base (with noted inventory number). Would be an amazing addition to any Mid-Century Modern pottery collection or personal collectors of her work or a fabulous stand-alone accent piece in about any setting. One of the best Beatrice Wood's luster glaze vases we have come across in quite a while. Know famously in the art world as "The Mama of Dada", Wood lived a long (1893-1998) and very fruitful, creative life and is considered by many experts and collectors alike to have been a centerpiece in the modern ceramic art movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. At one point in her career, Wood studied with master potters Otto and Gertrud Natzler and later become famed in her own right for her distinct luster-glazing techniques. In 1994, the Smithsonian Institution named Wood an "Esteemed American Artist". Her other awards include: 1994 Governor’s Awards for the Arts (California) 1993 Recognition as A Role Model by Women in Film 1992 Gold Medal for Highest Achievement in Craftsmanship, American Craft Council 1988 Distinguished Service Award, Arizona State University 1987 Fellow of American Craft Council Women’s Art Caucus, National Award (NCECA Award) 1986 Women’s Building Award 1984 Living Treasure of California 1983 Symposium Award of the Institute for Ceramic History 1961 Goodwill Ambassador from USA...Category
