PAIR OF VINTAGE SHOJI HAMADA POTTERY CUPS
Pair of vintage genuine Shoji Hamada pottery cups. These cups were purchased by the seller directly from Shoji Hamada at his studio.
Each cup is about 3 inches in diameter at the lip and 3.25 inches tall. Very good condition with no chips, cracks or repairs.
Shōji Hamada (December 9, 1894 – January 5, 1978) was a Japanese potter. He was a significant influence on studio pottery of the twentieth century, and a major figure of the mingei folk-art movement, establishing the town of Mashiko as a world-renowned pottery centre. Hamada was born in Mizonokuchi, Kanagawa Prefecture in 1894. He studied ceramics at Tokyo Institute of Technology under Kawai Kanijirō. Soon after, he met Bernard Leach with whom he travelled to England in 1920. Having spent three years in St Ives with Bernard Leach he returned to Japan in 1923 and eventually situated his workshop in Mashiko, about 100 km north-east of Tokyo.
Throughout a lifetime dedicated to making pottery he achieved international recognition and his works have been collected by museums across the world. Hamada influence was felt not only in his native Japan, particularly in Mashiko, but also in the West. In the United Kingdom and the USA his style and philosophy became well known amongst studio potters, and he was revered as the archetypal ’Oriental’ potter. In 1955 he was designated a “Living National Treasure”.
