This striking studio ceramic vase is attributed to Seigan Yamane, an innovative Hagi ware artist known for his distinctive blue-glazed works often referred to as “Seigan Blue.” The vase displays a dramatic interplay of deep cobalt blue, pale turquoise, and dark earthy clay. The flowing glaze creates a landscape-like effect reminiscent of ocean currents, moonlit clouds, or the northern lights. The sculptural form is equally compelling, with sharply defined ridges and subtle asymmetry that reveal the artist’s hand and emphasize the individuality of the piece. Unlike conventional flower vases designed primarily for practical use, this work possesses the presence of a ceramic sculpture. Every surface offers a different expression, encouraging close observation from multiple angles. The rich textures, layered glazes, and powerful contrasts between light and dark create remarkable visual depth. The piece is accompanied by a leaflet bearing the name of Seigan Yamane. However, the vase itself is unsigned and is offered without its original wooden box. It is therefore presented as attributed to Seigan Yamane. Although Seigan Yamane is particularly known for tea bowls, yunomi, and sake vessels designed to be appreciated through daily use, his flower vases appear far less frequently on the market.
