"For many exhibitors, the Winter Antiques Show is an opportunity to show their curatorial chops. Foremost among these specialists was Joan B. Mirviss, who explored form versus function in post-1960 Japanese pottery and porcelain. Highights ranged from a luminous Kutani porcelain platter by Tokuda Yasokichi III (1933-2009) and a Bizen triangular box by Mori Togaku (b 1937) to affordable polka dot decorated tea bowls by the young artist Takemura Yuri (b 1980)."
