| Description: |
Japanese Late 20th Century kutani glazed porcelain vase by Living National Treasure Tokuda Yasokichi III 三代徳田八十吉 (1933-2009).
Kintsugi 金継ぎ (gold joinery) repair on rim, honoring the work of the artist and the tradition of resilience, and beauty in imperfection. Gold dust on lacquer creating beauty in the preservation of this wonderful piece.
The cylindrical body of the vase is decorated with polychrome kutani saiyu (vivid enamel) glazes and fine dark bands. The vase has a narrow neck and flared rim. The kintsugi is on the rim and upper neck alone.
The bottom has the artist's signature in a cartouche of kutani green glaze: Masahiko
Comes with the tomobako (original artist signed wood storage box).
He was born Masahiko, the son of Tokuda Yasokichi II. In 1982 he succeeded his father and became Tokuda Yasokichi III, although his father officially reverted back to his name Momokichi in 1988.
This work was created while he was still using his given name Masahiko, so dates to before 1982 or so.
