21683 UDAGAWA Hosei (White bush clover sake cup)

Height (5.4cm) Diameter (8.6cm)

He began making pottery under the name "Hosei" with the desire to "make pottery while embraced by the blue of the sky, water and mountains", but passed away from illness in 1993, 10 years after his first solo exhibition. This is an outstanding work by the legendary genius potter Udagawa Hosei, who was expected to have a bright future in the world of Hagi ware, but passed away at the young age of 47. This work is an attractive sake cup with a soft and generous shape and a bold and powerful glaze. There are many points of interest, such as the dynamic shape, warm earthiness, and strong split foot. It is an exquisite piece that gives a sense of harmony with nature and a grand scale.
