A gorgeous set of five clam-shell Shaped dishes in organic Chossen Karatsu glaze tinged with unusual blue by Koga Kenji enclosed in the original compartmentalized signed wooden box titled Chossen Karatsu Hamaguri Mukozuke. The flow of glaze is like the stormy ocean washing up onto the rugged coastline, Each dish is roughly 12 x 14 cm (4-3/4 x 5-1/2 inches) and all are in excellent condition, directly from the artist.
Koga Kenji was born in Fukuoka in 1936, but did not start potting until much later in life, at the age of 38. He opened his own kiln in 1991, exhibiting with the prefectural exhibition the following year. Not a competitive person, eh has concentrated on private exhibitions, of which he has had many. His work is humble and easy to use true to that vein of the unknown craftsman of Mingei lore.
