Paul: You bet i'm going to visit it. Inspiration for form is often under the
layers of decoration. i might take my Yi dynasty chawan ( common Korean
rice bowl) with the loose hakeme slip decoration and show the powers at be
that if they would just loosen up with some soju and use a good ole
stoneware body they too could ask $10,000- US for a rice bowl.
Continueing the porcelain thread it seems contemporary porcelain around my
part of Ontario fetches a bigger dollar than does stoneware. I wonder if
over the long haul the stoneware pushes ahead. Was the most expensive Asian
pot sold- porcelain? I think Lee posted something about that pot.
Cheers,
Tony

Hey, Shoji Hamada used to do china painting on his stoneware. Not quite
like they do it at that museum, though.

Thanks for the corrective, Paul. At the time I knew him (mid sixties)
he was only doing it in Okinawa. At least that is what he said at the
time.

Though he only did that when he wintered in Okinawa......... maybe the
palm trees gave him courage!

That's not true. He built an enamel kiln at his place in Mashiko and did it
here, too.
