Vintage Bizen Guinomi, Isezaki Kyo, Sake Cup, Choko, Guinomi, Ceramics, Yohen, Sangiri, Unused,
Bizen ware is a type of traditional Japanese pottery from the former Bizen Province in present-day Okayama Prefecture.
Isezaki Kyo was born in 1970 as the fourth son of Isezaki Mitsuru (1934-2011). He studied under Shibaoka Koichi from 1988, began working under his father in 1993, and became independent in 1999. His work has been selected for a number of major ceramics exhibitions.
It comes with its Tomobako (original signed paulownia box), its Tomonuno (original artist-stamped cloth), and an artist-provided leaflet.
We acquired it from a relative in Okayama and found no signs of use.
