    Big Smile Mouth Jar

  • Description

    Stoneware, polychrome glazes and silver lustre.

    Brightly coloured, precisely painted, abstract motifs cover the surface of this artist’s work, often with anatomical references – in this case a smiling mouth. Yanagihara hand-builds his composite vessels, but it is the complex patterning which dominates the form and gives it its sense of fun.
