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.
