Lot Essay

'There is no severed slashing of surfaces, expressionistic painting nor sculptural addition. No bowl could be more pared down or basic. Everything is achieved through subtlety: a slight narrowing at the neck, the knife edge sharpness of the rim, a small swelling at the neck. These are all slight, but meaningful and considered, modulations that cumulatively set a Ebüzziya Siesbye bowl apart from the rest and joins it to a long succession of inspired bowls of the past' (Garth Clark, Alev Ebüzziya Siesbye, 1999, p. 16).
