Ceramic Bowl Black Cat This stoneware candle stand byToru Kikuchi creates pottery in Kasama, Ibaraki, producing pieces with a distinctly individual character. He begins by selecting a weight of clay, then shapes each form intuitively as ideas come to him. No two works are alike. Kikuchi also experiments with a wide range of glazes, resulting in rich and unexpected color combinations. This bowl showcases his signature free form expression, shaped by intuition and chance rather than strict convention.
