Description:
A slab sided stoneware bottle vase by Takeichi Kawai (1908-1989) the two broader panels decorated in gosu blue, shinsha red and tetsu brown brushwork on a chun type glaze, the sides, shoulder, neck and tapering rectangular foot iron under glazed. This was one of 95 pots the master potter brought with him on his visit to New Zealand 1964-65, sponsored by the New Zealand Society of Potters. At an evening in Auckland attended by some 30 potters, 19 of the Kawai vessels were sold; other pieces from the collection were destined for other national and international exhibitions. Because of the high demand to obtain a vessel, lots had to be drawn amongst the attendees. This one was purchased by a local potter. Labelled under the base. Height 14.2 cm. Width 9.5 cm. Depth 6 cm.
