dish with vertical sides, in the shape of a fan; brown, green and tan glazes; grasses and two birds at interior; lines on exterior; three small loop feet; has storage box Kitao_ji Rosanjin is considered by many to be the premier Japanese potter of the twentieth century. He had already earned a reputation as a talented calligrapher when he became interested in tableware through his association with the renowned Tokyo restaurant Hoshigaoka. He experimented widely with traditional styles, and was adept at reproducing the spirit of historic ceramics. Here, Rosanjin based his design on a type of ceramic originally championed by the tea master Furuta Oribe (1544-1615), which featured innovative shapes irregularly decorated by dipping a portion of the form into a glaze mixture. After firing, these brilliant, grass green areas contrasted nicely with casual paintings in iron brown. Size: 2 11/16 x 9 13/16 x 8 15/16 in. (6.83 x 24.92 x 22.7 cm) Medium: Stoneware with underglaze iron oxide designs and copper oxide glaze
