Description
A squat, irregularly shaped stoneware cup with a cinched waist and flared rim, its thick glaze mottled in slate blue-gray with patches of unglazed russet-brown clay showing through, along with small pooled highlights of deeper cobalt blue and cream-white. Raised, freeform ridges and lumps swirl across the body in an asymmetrical pattern, and a horizontal groove marks the transition to the wider foot. Kawai Kanjirō, "Sake Cup (Turquoise Glaze)," 1956, glazed stoneware.
