A beautifully crafted mid-century Japanese studio pottery vase, finished in flowing natural ash glazes across a hand-textured stoneware body. Its tall cylindrical form and organic, carved surface reflect the wabi-sabi aesthetics found in Japan’s Shigaraki and Hagi pottery traditions.
The vase comes complete with its original signed wooden kiribako (storage box), enhancing both its provenance and display value. Subtle gradients of green, ochre and deep charcoal merge naturally across the surface, creating a sculptural piece suitable for ikebana arrangements or as a standalone interior statement.
