Double spouted vessel

late 1950s

Toshiko Takaezu

American, 1922 - 2011

One of America's leading ceramicists, Toshiko Takaezu was part of an international wave of artists that investigated the sculptural side of ceramic art, moving beyond functional pots and bowls to explore forms, surfaces, and colors. This spherical vessel carries traces of Japan's rich ceramic past, but the exaggerated double spouts indicate the artist's interest in experimental techniques.
