AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Japanese ceramic vase with deep blue (ruri) glaze, featuring expressive gold-toned abstract decoration.
The surface shows a rich contrast between the intense cobalt-blue glaze and the textured, flowing motifs, giving the piece a strong sculptural presence.
The form is well-balanced with a slightly tapered neck, suitable both as a decorative object and as a flower vase.
This work is accompanied by its original tomobako (signed wooden box), confirming it as an authentic piece by the artist.
A refined example of Japanese modern studio ceramics from the 1970s–1980s, combining traditional glazing techniques with a contemporary aesthetic.
