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.
