Shoji Hamada Small Plate / Dish
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DESCRIPTION AS THE ATTRIBUTION NEEDS CLARITY TO AVOID CONFUSION AND WITHOUT A SIGNATURE, SIGNED BOX OR UNDISPUTED PROVENANCE THERE MAY BE DOUBT. IMAGES 10,11 &12 ARE VERY IMPORTANT AS THEY SHOW THIS PLATE NEXT TO FULLY AUTHENTICATED ITEMS WITH UNDISPUTED PROVENANCE. THIS PIECE IS TYPICAL STYLE AND DESIGN OF HAMADA, HAS NO MAKERS MARK, HAS GOOD WEIGHT AS ALL HIS ITEMS DO, IS PRESS MOULDED, COLOURS ARE AS LISTED IN HIS WORDS _ HE USED A LIMITED SPECIFIC SMALL RANGE OF COLOURS, APPLICATION TECHNIQUES ARE THE SAME. IF YOU VIEW IMAGE TEN THE PLATE COLOURING, ESPECIALLY THE TURQUOISE GREEN SHADE, WHICH IS NOT AS OFTEN SEEN ON THESE PLATES, IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS IMAGE ELEVEN WHICH IS A PIECE RECENTLY RESOLD THAT ORIGINALLY FORMED PART OF THE GADELIUS COLLECTION. IMAGE ELEVEN SHOWS A SIGNED PLATE BY HAMADA’S CONTEMPORARY, THE GREAT ROSANJIN HELD IN EQUAL ESTEEM IN JAPAN. THIS ALSO SHOWS THE IMPRINT OF THE CLOTH USED TO LINE THE MOULD TO ALLOW EASY REMOVAL PROVING IT WAS AN ACCEPTED METHOD AND THAT IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL THAT THE FINISH WAS NOT ALWAYS SMOOTHED OFF. THIS FACT IS HOWEVER UNUSUAL WITH HAMADA AND MOST OF THESE PLATES WERE LARGER _ THE SMALLER VERSIONS ARE RARER. SIZES ARE SHOWN AND CONDITION IS EXCELLENT. THE PHOTOS ARE GOOD REPRESENTATIONS. HOWEVER THIS WILL NOT FALL UNDER A MIS DESCRIBED ITEM CASE. PHOTOS ARE THE BEST DESCRIPTION SO PLEASE VIEW WELL. ALL MY ITEMS WILL HAVE SIGNS OF USE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK FOR EXTRA DETAILS OR IMAGES. ITEMS WILL BE WELL PACKED. COURIERS ARE WELCOME BY ARRANGEMENT. DUE TO PEOPLE NOT TURNING UP I CANNOT ACCEPT CASH ON COLLECTION.
