Atsushi Ogata Black Ground Brushstroke Plant Pot

Diameter (φ) 110mm × Height (h) 75mm Opening Diameter 100mm

This is a plant pot made by contemporary ceramic artist Atsushi Ogata, featuring a black ground with brushstroke patterns.

Born in Tokyo in 1960. He is currently based in Uda City, Nara Prefecture, where he continues to create using techniques such as "karatsu" and brushstrokes, taking advantage of the strength of clay rich in iron content. The vessels fired in a wood kiln possess a certain presence within their tranquility, bringing depth and tension not only to the plants but also to the space they occupy.

This work is a plant pot with a black ground brushstroke pattern, created by swiftly applying white slip with a brush onto a base shaped from black clay. The dynamic traces of the brush carve a strong rhythm into the surface of the vessel, presenting a unique appearance with no two pieces alike.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece specially made for Rurbanism, and since Atsushi Ogata's plant pot works rarely circulate in the market, it can be considered a highly rare piece.

The quiet vitality of the brushstroke vessels by Atsushi Ogata.

Please enjoy it as a small art piece that fits in the palm of your hand, living alongside your plants.
