Yellow Glazed Guinomi Sake Cup ー東井 真咲朝 "ぐい吞み"

A Thorny series guinomi in bright matte yellow with glistening spikes by Masatomo Toi enclosed in the original signed wooden box. It is 7 x 6 x 5.5 cm (roughly 2-1/2 inches diameter) plus the glinting golden thorns and in excellent condition, directly from the artist. Toi Masatomo was born in Aichi Prefecture in 1992, and graduated the Design course at the Tajimi Ceramics Research Facility in 2019. Since he has been developing his series of “Thorny” vessels and objects. At the same time he has been studying the way of tea. His works have been featured in a number of group and juried exhibitions. He is currently on a year of study and experimentation in Australia, and we expect great things in his future.
