VASE
H1989.811
Bottle shaped vase with bulging bowl and a pair of open- looped handles projecting from the neck. A random swirled pattern of greys, browns, black, ochre and touches of red covers the surface which is rough with some irregularities. There is a signature in Japanese on the base. This item, together with a number of other articles, was presented to the W.A.government following the Sister State agreement between it and the Hyogo State Prefecture on 23 June 1981. The original Hyogo exhibition, set up in mid June in the Allendale Square, was essentially a trade exhibition but Sir Charles Court, the Premier of Western Australia, assured Governor Tokitada Sakai of Japan's Hyogo Prefecture that the exhibits would be used to set up a permanent display, a memento of the Sister State relationship. A part of the Beaufort Street Gallery was set aside for this purpose and the items remained there from 1981 until refurbishing of museum areas in 1989.
