Cup c. late 20th century

"Cup" is a small ceramic bowl created by Tatsuo Sugimoto, a Japanese artist known for his work in ceramics. The bowl has a simple, elegant form with a slightly flared rim and a small foot. The glaze is a rich brown color, and the surface is decorated with a white incised pattern of diagonal lines that creates a subtle visual texture. This piece is a testament to Sugimoto's mastery of traditional Japanese ceramic techniques, which he uses to create contemporary works that are both beautiful and functional.
