Reminiscent of a perfectly formed oyster shell or the shell of a hermit crab, this recent creation by young artist Hiramatsu Ryoma demonstrates his creative imagination—influenced heavily by forms he discovered in nature. Described on the box as a “ammonite/ kataguchi” (ammonite/ sake pourer), Hiramatsu says his inspiration for this piece (and several others) came from an ancient form of sea life known as an ammonite—a large spiraled mollusk who’s shells are often found fossilized today. We have included a picture of several of Hiramatsu’s other creations to show how they could be used as a set.
In excellent condition, this piece is 6.1 inches across including the pouring spout (15.5 cm) and stands 2.5 inches tall (6.5 cm). It comes with its own signed and sealed wood box.
