AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a beautiful stoneware vase titled "Saisai Ryusomon" (Colored Porcelain with Flowing Grass Pattern) by the esteemed artist Katsushi Mori, a member of the Japan Kōgei Association.

The most striking feature of this piece is the dynamic, organic pattern incised on its surface. These "flowing grass" (Ryusomon) motifs resemble rhythmic, living forms, creating a sense of movement and vitality that contrasts beautifully with the vase's stable, elegant silhouette.

Unlike Mori's flatter decorative plates, this "Hana-ike" (flower vessel) is designed to harmonize with nature. The natural, earthy texture of the clay, combined with the sophisticated modern design, makes it an exceptional example of contemporary Japanese craft. It is a perfect size for a single branch or a seasonal flower, adding a sophisticated touch to any space.

・Artist: Katsushi Mori

・Technique: Incised "Ryusomon" (Flowing Grass) pattern on colored porcelain/stoneware.
