Large Ceramic Center Bowl Toshiko Takaezu
-
Description
A large ceramic tea center bowl by Japanese American artist Toshiko Takaezu (American, 1922 - 2011). Meant to be a bespoken center piece., the deep form bowl features a robust body of thick wall, supported by a short round foot ring. The surface showcases an expressive glaze pattern that is the signature style to the artist's work. Free-flowing abstract strokes of brown interact with the milky grey glaze that largely forms the background; with the unglazed deep colored clay partially exposed in places. The color shift is subdued and provide a meditative quality from the viewers. The base is glazed and signed with the artist's cypher and retains a sticker noting the year from the collector who purchased the work directly from the artist in 1985.
