Natural Ash-Glazed Mizusashi by Nagaoka Masami.

Japanese: Tea Articles: Pottery Contemporary: item #916389

Nagaoka Masami fires his small anagama to the limit, meaning the works within border on melting into themselves, and just at the right moment he ceases to stoke the kiln. Each work is truly a gift from the kiln gods and the spirit of the man himself. This is a wondrous mizusashi with a custom-made cedar-cherry lid that Nagaoka also made; it stands at 22cm.tallx20, signed on base.
