Japanese Studio Pottery Vase - Hand-painted Geometric Iron Design - Modern Mingei Style Ceramic - 10.6in (27cm) This is a distinctive piece of Japanese studio pottery, featuring a minimalist and modern design. The vase is crafted from natural stoneware with a warm, off-white base, decorated with bold, hand-painted geometric patterns using traditional iron-brown pigment. The style resonates with the "Mingei" (Folk Art) movement, which celebrates the beauty in everyday utilitarian objects. The vertical lines and abstract circular motifs are reminiscent of the "Mugiwara-de" (barley straw pattern) found in Seto and Tokoname wares, but reinterpreted with a mid-century modern sensibility. Its tall, open cylindrical form makes it an ideal vessel for large floral arrangements or as a standalone sculptural piece for contemporary interiors. Dimensions: Height: 10.6 in (27 cm) Diameter: 4.9 in (12.5 cm) Weight: 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg) Condition: Excellent condition. The hand-painted lines are crisp, and the stoneware has a wonderful tactile quality. No chips or cracks. -------------------- Japan Import All photos were taken by the seller.
