AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A Japanese nerikomi pottery vase featuring finely layered clay patterns, creating a calm and rhythmic surface texture.
The softly rounded form and neutral tones reflect the aesthetics of post-war Japanese studio ceramics, emphasizing material and technique rather than decoration.

The vase comes with its original signed wooden box (tomobako), indicating it was made as a dedicated artistic work.

A well-balanced piece suitable for both ikebana use and ceramic art collection.

Good condition overall.
There are minor surface marks and natural firing variations consistent with age and handmade pottery.
No cracks or structural damage observed.
