This vessel is New Old Stock - it was in storage for almost half a century - recently discovered - never touched nor used - rare and unique
Have you heard the term "New Old Stock (NOS)?"  It refers to Old Stock of any item that was never sold or used.  For example, if you were lucky enough to come across a collection of baseball cards (hopefully still in the old wrappers and un-opened), that could be NOS.  Similarly, if a business, shop or warehouse had items purchased years ago but had not sold all of the stock, that would be NOS.  Other New Old stock items are art glass, pottery, pens, watches, toys, or other things - you may have received as a child - but never used or opened.  The real trick is to be lucky enough to find New Old Stock.  In the marketplace, NOS is like the "holy grail" of anything collectible, and is so highly prized that it often commands high prices.
What an amazing find!  An Enormous Vintage Hanada Mashiko Art Pottery Vase in Brand New Original Condition
Size = 8.5" high and 9.5" across
Circumference is about 34"
Similar large vases are featured in books about Shoji Hamada, which also tell about his unique process of making large vases.  On page 101 in JAPANESE CERAMICS of the LAST 100 YEARS it tells how Hamada used a potter's wheel to throw the lower portion of a vase, then finished the upper portion with coiling.  The amazing vase I offer you appears to be created with these exact methods.  The bottom section is far smoother (thrown on a wheel) than the upper portion of the vase, where you can easily see and feel the coiling.
A wonderful customer of mine was thrilled to find my Hamada pieces because her father worked alongside Hamada and Leach in Hamada's compound in Mashiko during the 1960s when this vase was created, and she grew up surrounded by many similar pieces. She was so happy to find my offerings on ebay and bought many Hamada vessels from me.  Another customer, who spent time in Mashiko during the 196Os also says these items are definitely Hamada made vessels.
At least 2 pottery experts/collectors have also confirmed that these pieces are Hamada's.  I purchased these items from a very fine Japanese Art Gallery and shop that had been in business since the 1940s. They had a huge building with so many wonderful things. I had been buying from them for a long time and found these items, plus others, in their original, old, dusty, sealed boxes - most never opened until I discovered them.  These pottery pieces I found and bought were the gallery's most valuable pieces, which they told me many times.
Please note that Shoji Hamada did not sign his work.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FEAT IT WAS TO CREATE SUCH A GIGANTIC MASSIVE VERY HEAVY SUBSTANTIAL VESSEL
There is no reserve on this truly phenomenal, superbly textural, deep and brilliantly glazed, sensually~shaped 10" across and 9.25" tall, art pottery vessel made in Mashiko, Japan.  Mashiko is in the southeastern part of Tochigi prefecture, known worldwide for its outstanding, top quality, highly respected pottery.  It is believed that this style of innovative, beautiful pottery was started by Otsuka Keizaburo in 1853.
This superb vase has the most unique and exciting designs and elegant, lush shape. Colors on this very wonderful vessel are exceptionally harmonious, rich hues. Deep mahogany, rich nut brown, captivating coppery persimmon, tantalizing taupe, extremely beautiful bronze, plus deepest darkest black, adorn this vase with fabulous presence and grace. This piece was wood-fired or pit-fired. Stored away, carefully, for many decades, this is an extremely special and rare specimen in pristine condition.
Incredibly stunning rich glazes are absolutely magnificent. The amazing colors change a bit - with the light and background
Artistic splashes and streaks of rich tones are mesmerizingly marvelous
This very elegant and special, piece would look fabulous anywhere. It would look truly fantastic with JAPANESE, ARTS and CRAFTS, MISSION and MODERN decor. Sitting alone on any surface, it would look sensational! What a terrific and completely unique addition this would be to an art pottery, or any collection.
NEW CONDITION:
This spectacular vessel is in new condition with no chips or cracks - no damage.  Many desired natural textural elements are original to the piece.  Sale is final.
PLEASE NOTE:   SIGNATURE WILL BE REQUIRED AT DELIVERY.
