Item Description This is a beautiful flat vase (Henko) titled "Grass Pattern" created by ceramic artist Takeda Yoko. The piece showcases delicate botanical motifs that gracefully adorn the vessel's flattened form, demonstrating the artist's refined aesthetic sensibility and technical mastery. The work features organic grass patterns that flow naturally across the surface, creating a harmonious composition that embodies traditional Japanese ceramic artistry with a contemporary interpretation. The piece comes with a Tomobako (original signed wooden box), which authenticates the work and adds significant value to this ceramic treasure. The artist's signature and seal on the box confirm its provenance.

The flat form of the vase is particularly elegant, representing a classic shape in Japanese pottery that emphasizes horizontal visual balance. The decorative grass motif exhibits careful attention to detail, with each element contributing to the overall aesthetic harmony. This work represents the fusion of traditional ceramic techniques with artistic expression, making it not only a functional vessel but also a sculptural art piece that celebrates the beauty of nature through the medium of clay.
