Description
This is a Bizen sake flask by Tozo Konishi, who was born the grandson of the master craftsman Toko Konishi and has captured many hearts with his unique works backed by solid technique. It features a magnificent *hidasuki* (fire-cord) firing style typical of Konishi, whose distinctive artistic approach impresses many pottery connoisseurs. The beautifully browned skin has a caramel-brown luster that is truly full of character. Contrasting with this is a clean, white surface with a lovely, almost pristine hue. Deep crimson cords wrap around it, strongly evoking the act of firing, which is the very origin of ceramics.
Signed wooden box (shiho-san style)
Rim diameter 4.0 cm × body diameter 9.9 cm × body diameter 9.8 cm × height 15.1 cm; capacity approx. 570 ml
