Description: This ceramic flower vase features a generously rounded body with a softly flared mouth, creating a calm and balanced silhouette well suited to both traditional and modern interiors. The proportions emphasize stability while allowing the glaze effects to become the true focal point of the work. The surface is covered in a kiln-changed peacock glaze, displaying layered transitions of crimson, violet, lavender, and pale bluish tones. Vertical glaze flow marks are visible, created naturally during firing, giving the piece a sense of movement. Scattered small pinholes and pooled glaze areas appear across the body, typical of high-temperature kiln effects and adding depth and character rather than flaw. The interior is smoothly glazed, and the foot is neatly finished, revealing careful craftsmanship. The vase bears a maker’s mark, though the artist remains unidentified. As a sculptural object, it stands confidently on its own, while also serving as an elegant vessel for flowers or branches. Dimensions: Mouth Diameter: 7.3 cm Diameter: 16.5 cm Height: 20.2 cm Weight: 2000 grams Condition: No noticeable chips, cracks, or stains. Artist Profile: The vase is signed, indicating it was produced by a professional ceramic artist, though the name is currently unidentified. During the late Showa period, many Japanese potters focused on expressive glaze experimentation, particularly kiln effects that emphasized chance and firing conditions. This work reflects that tradition through its rich color transitions and organic surface character. Additional Notes Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the item description.
