Japanese Contemporary Studio Pottery Vase – “Sen no Tsubo” (Vessel of Lines) by Sato Miki. A powerful and museum-quality work of Japanese contemporary studio ceramics. By Sato Miki , a recognized ceramic artist from Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture, born June 13, 1945. Weight: Body 2.6kg / Total with box approx. Dimensions: H 23.5cm × W 19cm / Mouth diameter 11cm. (? – “Vessel of Lines”). Original signed wooden box. Provenance documents included: Original artist biography sheet and 1983. (New Art Newspaper) article featuring the work. The Work: This large egg-shaped vessel is an exceptional example of Sato Miki’s signature. The entire surface is wrapped in rhythmic horizontal bands of two alternating textures – smooth compressed clay and deeply incised dotted scoring – creating a hypnotic, almost textile-like quality reminiscent of ancient woven cloth or geological strata. The palette moves from warm sandy beige to deep slate blue-grey, with a luminous blue-green glaze pooling richly at the irregular, deliberately unfinished rim – a bold contrast that highlights the artist’s mastery of controlled spontaneity. The interior is glazed in deep black with flashes of cerulean blue.

An incredibly hand-crafted full-sized Japanese studio pottery Tsubo, or Jar. With a finely crafted narrow neck and opening, it can also be used as a vase. Made in Japan in the 1970s or 1980s. It’s extraordinary glazing embodies the artistry and Wabi Sabi esthetic of Japanese Mingei pottery. The loose and dynamic application of the drip glaze celebrates the beauty of random and accidental gestures. The eye-catching glazing displays a completely different. Colors and aspects on each side of the vase/jar. The artist is unknown, but it stamped with a potter’s signature maker’s mark on the bottom. It would easily be at home within an environs of Mid-Century Modern design. Dimensions of this large or full-sized Tsubo jar are 6.5 x 6.5 x 8.0. It is from my family’s private collection.
