Description

With a calm, warm glaze in earthy brown tones and a slightly irregular, hand-formed silhouette, this Tokkuri Made of Karatsu Ware by Michael Martino reveals its understated yet characterful side. The shimmering surface and the organically shaped spout lend the vessel a pleasant, grounded presence.

The origin of this piece is particularly noteworthy: it comes from Michael Martino, a potter of Western origin who has devoted himself to the traditional Japanese Karatsu technique – evidence of how much this centuries-old craft resonates and is recognized internationally as well. This Tokkuri is delivered in a wooden box signed by the master potter. As a handcrafted unique work, it is excellently suited for serving sake and is at the same time an interesting collector's piece at the intersection of Japanese tradition and international ceramic art.
