Bizen-yaki Spouted Sake Server

This is a newly kiln-fired Bizen katakuchi sake pitcher by Kazuki Nakamura, an artist who creates works of profound depth, carrying on the lineage of the master sake vessel makers Rokuro Nakamura and Shin Nakamura. While following in the footsteps of these masters, this pitcher captures Kazuki's unique style, subtly infusing a character distinct from that of his father and grandfather. It features the Nakamura family's signature earthy base with a faint orange hue, which transitions into a rich, lustrous shiso-red gradation. True to the Nakamura family’s specialty of creating warm, handmade tableware, the piece boasts an elegant form that skillfully expresses the soft texture of the clay. Priced similarly to a sake cup, it is an extremely accessible work, easy to care for, and perfect for those just beginning their journey into Japanese sake. Signed wooden box to be provided at a later date (please allow some time for delivery)
16.5cm (including spout) x 8.0cm diameter x 6.1cm height Kazuki Nakamura was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Shin Nakamura. After graduating from the Faculty of Letters at Okayama University in 2003, he studied under his grandfather and father to hone his pottery skills. He fired his first kiln and became an independent artist in 2006.
