Hand-formed Katakuchi (Incl Box)

£21600

Everything about this katakuchi, or sake pourer, has that lovely combination of refinement and roughness from Izumita san. The organic shape with its wavy rim might suggest that the sides are rough and stony, but they are carefully sanded to a smooth and tactile finish. In addition, if you look closely you can see how a sheet of clay has wrapped around to form the shape. It is a hand-formed piece rather than thrown on the wheel.

This katakuchi comes with its own signed box to guarantee its provenance as Izumita san becomes more renowned and collectible. 

  • 14cm Long, 10cm Wide, 13.5cm High
  • Stoneware (see our Care Guide)
  • Not suitable for dishwashing
  • Handmade by Izumita san at his kiln in the North Eastern prefecture of Iwate

Meet the Maker:

Izumita Yukiya

Based in the North of Japan in Iwate prefecture, far away from the traditional centres of ceramics in Japan, Izumita Yukiya creates sculptural peices inspired by geology.

His making often features strips and layers of clay, influenced by geological strata, which could be interpreted as the eternal layering and relayering of the earth. His pieces are now in major galleries in the US and Japan as his reputation continues to rise.
