Atsushi Ogata Black Ground Brushstroke Plant Pot

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

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

Born in 1960 in Tokyo. Currently based in Uda City, Nara Prefecture, he continues to create using techniques such as "karatsu" and brushstroke while harnessing the strength of clay rich in iron. The vessels fired in a wood kiln possess a certain presence within their tranquility, bringing depth and tension not only to the plants but to the space they occupy.

This work is a plant pot with a black ground brushstroke created by rapidly applying white slip with a brush onto a body formed from black clay. The vigorous traces of the brush carve a strong rhythm into the surface of the vessel, presenting a unique presence with no two pieces sharing the same expression.

This is a one-of-a-kind piece specially made for Rurbanism, and since Atsushi Ogata's plant pots rarely appear on the market, it can be considered a highly rare work.

The quiet vitality of the brushstroke vessels by Atsushi Ogata.

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