Takamori is best known for his figurative ceramics. I like the sense of tenderness and intimacy in this image. This piece was printed at the Lawrence Lithography Workshop.

Bob sent these to the library as a gift. They are some of his early works in jewelry. The smaller ring is a gift from a Topekan who went to high school with Bob. I think they’re remarkably well done, and some really innovative designs that show the promise of his later success.

Massachusetts
Paperweight/scent bottle (no date)
Glass
2006.10
The delicate nature of the vessel is what attracts me to this piece. Both flowers are wonderful reflections of each other. The flower in the stopper has been stretched, while the flower in the bottle has been flattened. It’s amazing that the artist was able to create such lifelike flowers in such a small space.
