Shoji Hamada Japanese clay charger with black glaze and terracotta toned glazed decoration, circa 1960s. On contemporary stand. The piece is unsigned and as such cannot definitively said to be by Shoji Hamada. This is not uncommon for his pieces.
Shoji Hamada December 9, 1894 – January 5, 1978) was a Japanese potter. He was a significant influence on studio pottery of the 20th century, and a major figure of the mingei Folk Art movement, establishing the town of Mashiko as a world-renowned pottery centre. He used only locally sourced clay and materials in his work. In 1955 he was designated a Japanese “Living National Treasure”.
