AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A signed Bizen ware flower vase by Izuru Yamamoto, a distinguished Japanese ceramic artist and designated Okayama Prefectural Intangible Cultural Property holder.
This vase is formed in unglazed stoneware and fired using traditional high-temperature wood kiln techniques.
The surface features natural ash deposits and iron-rich clay tones, creating warm beige and reddish-brown effects characteristic of refined Bizen ceramics.
The sculptural form and rhythmic surface marks reflect Yamamoto’s pursuit of clay as a medium for three-dimensional expression.
The base bears the artist’s incised signature, and the piece is accompanied by its original wooden storage box, original cloth, and a biographical leaflet, supporting clear attribution to Izuru Yamamoto.
A well-balanced work that combines the quiet strength of traditional Bizen with a modern sculptural presence, suitable for both display and ikebana.

Minor surface irregularities and firing marks consistent with age and traditional Bizen kiln firing. No cracks or restorations.
