Platter

Yamazaki Akira Japanese

Not on view

Yamazaki Akira’s sculptural earthenware platter, with its slightly lobed shape and incised lines, exhibits an abstract leaf shape, with a raised channel on the left side, from which faint lines, like the veins of a leaf, radiate out to both sides. The platter is covered with a yellow-green glaze that shades off into a yellowish brown. It is supported by three small "feet" on the underside. The son of respected ceramic artist Yamazaki Koyo (1890–1979), Yamazaki Akira is known for his brightly glazed pieces.
