A large porcelain vase by Japanese ceramic artist Shumei Fujii (藤井朱明), produced in Arita, Japan.
The surface is finished with a deep Tenmoku-style glaze, decorated with scattered silver circular patterns that emerge through the dark glaze, creating a distinctive contrast and depth.

The elegant bottle form and restrained decoration reflect the aesthetics of modern Arita studio ceramics of the late 20th century.
The vase comes with its original signed wooden box (tomobako) and cloth.

Height: 30.5 cm
Diameter: 14 cm
