Composed of two bulbous volumes connected in a gentle arc, the vessel balances visual tension with quiet stability, supported by small, deliberate feet. The softly textured white glaze, mottled with natural kiln markings, enhances the tactile presence of the piece and emphasizes its hand-built character. While fully functional as a water pourer, the work transcends its practical role, reading equally as a contemporary decorative object. Satō’s restrained use of form and surface invites close viewing, rewarding the observer with subtle variations and a calm, meditative rhythm rooted in modern Japanese ceramic aesthetics.
