Vintage Japanese Monumental Hand Built Unglazed Modernist Earthenware Vessel, Signed

$1,375.00

Vintage Monumental Japanese Brutalist Earthenware Vessel (Signed)

Hand-Built • Unglazed • Mid-Century Modern

Description:

A striking Brutalist-modern earthenware vessel, hand-built with organic, sculptural presence. This monumental piece features a raw, unglazed surface, emphasizing the natural texture of the clay, with two bold, asymmetrical openings at the top. The sturdy footed base and rugged, tactile form reflect a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modernist abstraction. Signed on the bottom by the artist (signature to be researched).

Condition:

In good vintage condition, with light surface wear—minor scratches and scuffs consistent with age and handling. No structural damage. Refer to images for detailed condition.

Provenance:

Acquired from a private Japanese ceramics collector who resided in Japan for over 20 years, ensuring direct exposure to post-war avant-garde and Mingei (folk craft) movements.

Dimensions:

14.25” W × 10.75” H × 6.25” D

Style Notes:

This vessel bridges Brutalist austerity and organic modernism, echoing the works of Japanese ceramic pioneers like Kazuo Yagi or British potter Hans Coper. Its unglazed, earth-toned presence makes it a bold statement piece for collectors of postwar studio pottery and sculptural ceramics.

Shipping:

Carefully packed with professional art handlers. Insurance included. Worldwide delivery available.
