[Description of the Work]
Kaneshige Sozan was the younger brother of Kaneshige Tōyō, a Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and a ceramist renowned for incorporating innovative techniques into traditional Bizen ware.
This piece dates from the very end of his career and is a guinomi (sake cup) in the Karatsu-style, fired in a Bizen climbing kiln. Floral patterns are painted in iron oxide on both the front and back of the cup. It is a very generously sized piece.
The signature is carved into the foot of the piece.
