About the work
A refined sake cup crafted by ceramic artist Uraguchi Masayuki, featuring his distinctive Tobi Seiji (spotted celadon) glaze. This piece showcases a subtle gray- green hue, with dark speckling that adds a dynamic contrast. The slightly textured body reveals an unglazed footrim, bearing the artist's signature, attesting to its authenticity.

Footnote
Uraguchi Masayuki, born in 1964 in Tokyo, found his inspiration during his studies at the Tokyo University of the Arts, where a National Treasure celadon vase sparked his lifelong passion for celadon glazing. He trained under Miura Koheiji, later refining his craft through extensive personal research, which included studying ancient Chinese ceramics firsthand. His work stands out for its innovative glazes and attention to detail, blending traditional influences with his distinctive, modern interpretation.
