An exceptional large wood fired vase by leading Japanese Mashiko potter Ken Matsuzaki. Stoneware. Coil built and faceted. Wood fired. Vivid blue-green cascade of natural ash glaze like an ice floe. The raw clay has flashed a beautiful peachy colour in the wood kiln. Excellent condition, as new. With the original signed box. Incised potter's mark to the underside. Dimensions (approximate): 26cm x 10cm x10cm.

An exceptional example of Ken Matsuzaki's wood fired work. Purchased on the first day of exhibition at the Goldmark Gallery. In the first Goldmark documentary on Mr Matsuzaki's work, the late Phil Rogers can be seen removing a larger vase with the same glaze effect from Mr Matsuzaki's noborigama kiln.
