Did You Know?

Seifū Yohei IV learned the ceramics industry from his father and painting from Tanomura Shosai.

Description

Like his father, Yohei IV also produced works with red or yellow monochrome glazes. His yellow-glazed works include this set of five drinking cups, a pair of sake pourers CMA 2022.216, and a sweets bowl molded into the shape of a chrysanthemum CMA 2022.218.
A porcelain cup with a wide rim flares outward and tapers downward in a smooth, symmetrical curve to a narrow circular foot. A uniform pale yellow glaze covers the entire vessel, creating a glossy, reflective surface on both the interior and exterior. The consistent monochrome hue emphasizes the simple, rounded form, which concludes at a thin, unglazed ring at the base.
