The warm sandy clay of this vase splits and fissures studded with pack-marks of molten feldspar rising tall to a jagged rim by Suzuki Seisei enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Saisaji Kabin. Inside is entirely glazed with subtle yellow-green, and a few large inclusions are embedded in the outside. It is 42.5 cm (just less than 17 inches) tall 12 cm (just less than 5 inches) diameter and in excellent condition.
Suzuki Seisei(1914-1990) served as mentor to a generation of young potters. His research into glazes and constant development earned him the Aichi prefectural Cultural award and the Chunichi Cultural Award as well as a place in 20th century pottery Annals. He exhibited with and was awarded at the Nitten, Gendai Kogeiten, Asahi Togeiten and Chunichi Kokusai Togeiten among others.
