Suzuki Sansei specializes in celadon ware. His highly refined, classical, light bluish-green glazes rival their Chinese Southern Sung prototypes and have garnered him many awards. This mizusashi, with its low profile and cool glaze, would be appropriate for a tea gathering conducted in the hot and humid summer months.
