Square Tebachi is a contemporary interpretation of a traditional Japanese ceramic vessel. The tebachi, or handled vessel, originated during the Momoyama period (late sixteenth century), when Korean potters were forcibly relocated to Japan. Traditionally the handle is constructed from clay, but in Square Tebachi Bresnahan collaborates with the mathematician and knotting artist Paul Krueger (a working relationship that has spanned more than forty-two years) to create a dynamic woven rattan handle. Square Tebachi is wood fired with a natural ash glaze and iron slip painting. The elegant form has a folded rim and exhibits a dynamic interplay between the richness of the clay body and the swirling color of the glaze. This footed vessel reflects both Bresnahan’s interest in traditional Japanese ceramic techniques and his commitment to using the natural materials of his adopted state of Minnesota.
