Description

This is an earlier Bizen Guinomi by Yoshiyuki Matsui, who also devoted himself to teaching the next generation as an instructor at the Ceramic Center.

A printed career record from around 2010 is enclosed, and the piece is believed to have been made around that time.

Kigoma, Koge-Goma, and Nagare-Goma have fused together and adhered to the surface, creating a powerful fire pattern that is very characteristic of Matsui’s preference for rich, heavy-fired effects.

The entire piece has a strong gloss, almost as if it were coated in glass, and the orange-tinged clay surface transforms into a distinctive, smoky texture—an especially fascinating contrast.

The rim gently undulates with a light, lively movement, showing the kind of exemplary craftsmanship one would expect from an experienced teacher, and it also looks very comfortable to use.

The piece was purchased new and carefully stored, and it remains in unused condition.

He was born in Kumamoto Prefecture in 1931.
He served as an instructor at the Bizen Pottery Center from 1960 to 1973.
