John Takehara’s Bottle is a utilitarian object that nonetheless displays the decorative qualities of contemporary ceramic art as well as the simple, refined features of historical Japanese and English pottery. This large, wheel-thrown stoneware vessel has a rotund form, as though inflated by an immense breath of air, with a tiny opening at the top that barely interrupts the overall shape. The piece has been dipped in a copper glaze and fired through a process that produces a variegated surface, with saturated areas of a deep blood-red hue.
