Superb Quality Signed Studio Pottery Suiban Here is an exceptionally elegant, slab-built Suiban. This high-quality studio piece features a distinct potter’s hanko (chop mark) near the base, denoting expert craftsmanship and artisanal origins. Finished in a sophisticated mottled ash and iron-oxide glaze, the tray possesses a beautiful organic patina and a heavy, “well-poured” feel typical of fine mid-century style stoneware. Versatile Display Uses: Suiseki: Perfect for displaying viewing stones in sand or to create a miniature landscape. Ikebana: An ideal basin for Moribana style flower arrangements using a kenzan (frog). Home Decor: Its minimalist, brutalist aesthetic makes it a stunning standalone tray for candles or as a high-end catch-all. Condition: In good vintage condition. There is one slight crack to one edge/corner but it remains solid. Measurements: approximately 24cm (L) x 12cm (W) x 7.5cm (H). A rare opportunity to own a signed piece of functional studio art. Please see all photos for a detailed view of the maker’s mark and glaze texture as well as the crack previously mentioned.

Stanislas Reychan MBE Studio Pottery – Hand Built Tin Glazed Black Bull RARE. A rare hand-modelled red earthenware and tin-glazed figure in the form of a black bull, painted in manganese, by the renowned potter Stanislas Reychan. Impressed stamp to side and name stamp to back leg. Lovely condition, some firing hairlines to base, see final photo. Stanislas Reychan was born in Vienna in 1897, the son of a Polish father and an Austrian mother. During the Second World War, he fled to Hungary, then Paris, before joining the Polish Army in the UK, deciding to stay here after being demobbed in 1949. With an interest in pottery, he went on to study at the Central School of Art under Dora Billington, before opening his own studio in 1950. One of his first exhibitions was at the Craft Potters’ Association, and others soon followed, including at Heffers in Cambridge. He became widely respected and exhibited, and won a Silver Medal in 1960 at the Paris Salon. His work is beginning to be collected widely and one of his works,’Prometheus’, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum collection, C. 205-199 and also in the Ceramics Museum, York alongside the likes of Dame Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Bernard Leach and Richard Batterham. This is certain to be an appreciating asset for the future!
