201. HAMADA Junri 浜田純理, 1948-2022, black Oribe yunomi
For Hamada, see item 200.
If the following description sounds the same as that in the preceding entry, it’s because both pots follow the same design. The yunomi is simply larger.
Reddish- brown clay. Glazed in white and black, with dark red colors showing through on the unglazed spots. Weight: 242 g (8.6 oz). Height: 7.9 cm (3-1/8 in). Diameter of rim: 7.3 cm (2-7/8 in); of foot ring, 5.6 cm (2-3/16 in); maximum: 9.5 cm (2-3/4 in); minimum: 6.6 cm (2-5/8 in). Capacity: 180 ml (6.5 fl oz).
This sits on the roughly circular foot ring. The foot ring is 0.6 cm (1/4 in) high on the outside. The inside has been hollowed; the hollow is deepest just inside the ring, with a gentle mound toward the ccnter. Above the foot ring, the walls move outward and upward at a shallow obtuse angle (110 degrees) in a straight line to a height of 1.3 cm (1/2 in) to reach the maximum width of the cup. Above this they move inward in a shallow convex arc to the minimum width 5.7 cm (2-1/4 in) above the base. Above this waist the walls continue upward in another shallow convex arc to the rim. The exterior is ringed by shallow horizontal grooves and has many dents and bumps. The surface is fairly smooth. The interior walls do not mirror the exterior shape. They are fairly vertical, and there is a shallow bowl at the bottom. The interior walls are very smooth.
Wood-fired, using white and black Oribe glazes, with a fine luster all over from the ash glazing.
Purchased from Art on the Table, a company in Seattle specializing in Japanese products, in November 2022.
