Tsuboya Ware by Kiyomasa Kobashigawa Sake/Tea Cup — Abstract Iron and Copper-Red Glaze, Ryukyu Art
Tsuboya Ware by Kiyomasa Kobashigawa Sake/Tea Cup — Abstract Iron and Copper-Red Glaze, Ryukyu Art
A small, rounded sake/tea cup in the Tsuboya-yaki tradition of Okinawa, attributed to Kiyomasa Kobashigawa. The exterior carries a bold, freely brushed abstract design in iron-black and copper-red glaze — angular, mountain-like forms in mottled grey-black set against blocks of glossy red, characteristic of the loose, painterly decoration found in modern Ryukyu studio ceramics.
The interior and rim are finished in a contrasting warm grey-green ash glaze, with a spiral throwing mark visible at the base of the bowl. The unglazed footring reveals a coarse, speckled stoneware body, and the recessed base bears a carved character seal
