Japanese glazed stoneware 'gu'-shaped vase by Minegishi Seikô 峯岸勢晃 (1952-2023)
About the Item
Exquisite stoneware vase of ‘gu’-like shape by the honoured artist Minegishi Seikô (1952-2023) with an undulating calyx-shaped mouth and covered by his trademark celadon glaze of grey-greenish colour. This high quality ‘kan’nyû’-type craquelé glaze looks like many stacked crystalized flakes surrounded by a faint reddish line. Creating a beautiful depth.
The upper and lower rims, and the lower lying parts of the low relief lobed neck accentuated by smoky grey lines. The smooth foot decorated with two subtle rows of dots in the same shade.
The bottom with an unglazed cartouche sealed by the artist.
Minegishi Seikô was born in 1952 in Misato City, Saitama Prefecture. He specialised in craquelure celadon glaze, which was infamously difficult to achieve. His thickly applied glazes ranged from the classical range of celadon colours from pale green to grey to beige and were characterised by kan’nyū, or deep crackling that served to emphasise his elegant shapes.
Minegishi's early work was in kohiki vessels (an iron-rich body coated in thin white slip glazes) inspired by early Korean pun'chong wares, rather than celadon glazes. After seeing a Chinese celadon bowl in the Tokyo National Museum, he started researching celadon and visiting all of Japan's, Taiwan's, and Korea's classical celadon collections. Minegishi began experimenting with his clay and a variety of celadon glaze methods after visually digesting these collections.
Five years later, he figured out how to make the deep crackles that are synonymous with Guan wares. He also achieved deep reddish-purple lines that infused the crackled glaze which became one of his trademark aesthetics.
Minegishi's kiln is in Nasucho, Nasu County, Tochigi Prefecture. And he displayed his art at many exhibitions, galleries and auctions, internationally. A few examples are: From 1996 onward he was selected 13 times for the “Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition” (selected 13 times), where he became a full member of the “Japan Kogei Association” in 2000. He held a Christie's Auction Spring Exhibition (New York), in 2002, and a 2nd one in 2003). In 2013 he was among the ‘Joan B. Mirviss Collectors Tour from USA’. A complete overview of many more achievements can be seen at his own website.
Including original signed and sealed wooden tomobako (storage box), and leaflet in Japanese about accomplishments of the artist until 2014.

- Outstanding Japanese Biomorphic Abstract Sculpture by Harumi Nakashima 中島晴美By Harumi NakashimaLocated in Amsterdam, NLOutstanding and large porcelain biomorphic abstract sculpture covered in clear glaze and regularly distributed opulent cobalt blue polka dots of varying sizes, titled ‘Twisting Back, Multiplying’, hand-built by the highly praised Japanese ceramic artist Harumi Nakashima (1950). Signed at the bottom in a dot '1104 Haru'. Made in 2011. Documented on the website of the artist himself. Born in 1950 in Ena, Gifu Prefecture, Harumi Nakashima is known for his biomorphic porcelain sculptures decorated with opulent blue dots. He excels in clay creations far removed from both tradition and functionality. Taking great care to achieve a flawless surface and form, each piece is created over the course of six months. Nakashima's early reputation was cemented as one of the leading teachers at the Tajimi Pottery Design and Technical Center, having trained and influenced many of the promising young ceramicists of Japan since 1976. Nakashima has received leading prizes and tributes. With works collected by 20 public institutions the world over, including the Museum of Arts and Design in New York and the Faenza Ceramics Museum in Italy, he is one of Japan's most celebrated porcelain artist. Influenced by the blue sometsuke (under-glaze) motifs of traditional Japanese porcelain, Nakashima's motifs also use cobalt blue over-glaze. Yet unlike traditional methods, Nakashima's blue dots are painted over the body of a work after the main firing, and then fired into the white glaze of the porcelain with a second firing using the technique of "in-glazing", thereby leading to the sinking of the dots upon the white overglaze. Perhaps more surprising is the fact that his organic, sprawling and fluid porcelain bodies are entirely hand-built. As porcelain is extremely difficult to manipulate by free-hand, Nakashima intentionally uses this method to create not only tension, but an epic "battle with clay". He is currently based in the port city of Nagoya, and some of his more recent exhibitions are; 2021 Art Market San Francisco, Duane Reed Gallery...Category
