Japanese Studio Pottery (作家物) - Βάζο - Πήλινα

Περιγραφή Αντικειμένου

Artistic Details
The Glaze & Texture: The vase is enveloped in a thick, milky-white glaze that displays a mesmerizing network of crackles (Kanyu). Subtle tinges of pinkish-orange (Kohiki-style warmth) and earthy greys emerge from beneath the glaze, suggesting a complex firing process.

The Form: The robust, hand-formed shape feels grounded and organic. The visible throwing marks and the slightly irregular lip add to its unique character, making it an ideal piece for Ikebana or as a standalone interior statement.

The Artist Mark: The base reveals the raw, reddish-brown clay (iron-rich stoneware) and bears a stamped artist seal: "Kei" (啓). While the specific workshop remains unidentified, the quality of the potting and the sophistication of the glaze suggest an experienced hand from a renowned kiln site such as Hagi, Shigaraki, or a similar studio pottery tradition.
