Group of 4 Antique “Wabi” Terracotta with Black Splash Glaze
Ref: 5587
Four from our current selection of 10 heavy antique two-handled pots, prices from £120 to £180 each, these are appealingly simple in form & appearance recalling Japanese traditions of pottery making for the tea ceremony that embraced Zen Buddhism ideas of “wabi’ or the wholesomeness of poverty, & developed an aesthetic appreciation of naturalness & authenticity, the simple colour combination here with modest application of splashed & spilled black glaze on the naturally patinated brick-red terracotta is very much in this spirit.
