JAPANESE STUDIO POTTERY: Zogan-Inlay Vase by SASAKI ATSUSHI For Sale

The entire surface of this oval-form vase with high rounded shoulders is decorated with interlocking overlapping zogan-inlay ribbon lines. The interior is completely covered in a dark iron vase.

The vase is 23cm. high, 32cm. wide, and 28cm. deep, and weighs 12.25lbs. It is in excellent condition (there are two unnoticeable firing cracks within the lip), is stamped on the base and comes with a signed box. Provenance: purchased in 2007 at the Robert Yellin Gallery in Japan.PRICED TO SELL!
