New projects, Ryusen celedon and middle Edo Imari

November 27, 2018 David Pike Leave a comment

Here are some photos of 2 pieces I am doing. Both are very old. The celedon is from between 960-1127 AD and the Imari is from about 1700 AD. Usually it isn’t possible to see the porcelain body of pieces that age but on both of these it is possible.
