A striking henko (flattened flask) in stoneware, distinguished by its sculptural silhouette and restrained modernist composition. The broad flattened body is accented with a geometric triangular reserve on a softly shimmering silver-glazed (gin-sai) surface, creating a powerful contrast between metallic luminosity and earthy clay tones. The vessel’s asymmetrical contour and narrow slit opening emphasize its architectural quality, giving it the presence of an object balanced between utility and abstraction. The surface bears subtle kiln effects and natural firing textures, with iron-rich clay visible at the edges and body, enhancing its wabi-sabi character. The triangular motif introduces a deliberate graphic tension, evoking mountain forms or abstract landscape imagery. Likely intended as a flower vessel or decorative flask, this piece reflects the spirit of contemporary Japanese studio ceramics—where traditional firing methods meet modern sculptural sensibility. A compelling collectible work for admirers of Japanese ceramic minimalism and tea-room aesthetics. NOTICE
