A traditional Bizen ware flower vase (hanaire) crafted by the veteran artist Yukiyoshi Soshin (行吉素心). Purchased approximately 30 years ago and kept in home storage; never used. The piece displays classic Bizen characteristics—natural ash glaze effects, warm earthy tones, and a beautifully balanced form with two decorative lugs on the shoulders. The artist’s impressed mark is clearly visible on the base. Included with the vase: - Original signed wooden tomobako (box) - Original yellow cloth - Original leaflet/paper The vase itself is in excellent unused condition, with no cracks or chips. The wooden box shows minor age-related deterioration, consistent with long storage. Dimensions: - Height: 24.6 cm - Diameter (mouth): 4.7 cm - Base diameter: 9.7 cm A fine example of contemporary Bizen craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of Japanese pottery.
