Salt And Revolution: 70s Ceramics

Archive note

Promotional material for an unrealized 1970s Japanese ceramics exhibition or product line centered on hand-poured salt vessels. The image captures a woman's hand with manicured nails dispensing salt from a blue-and-white porcelain animal figurine—a gesture of deliberate elegance that suggests ceramics as both functional object and aesthetic statement. The subtitle reads: 'Tableware of the 70s. Unknown elegance.' This artifact speaks to collectors of lost Japanese design movements, ceramic ephemera, and the intersection of domestic ritual and modernist craft.
