Description from the seller
A contemporary Japanese Iga-style stoneware flower vase by Yamada Kazu (山田和).
The vessel features a tall cylindrical form with restrained hand-built contours, highlighted by natural ash deposits, earthy tones, and kiln effects characteristic of late 20th century Japanese ceramics.
The surface shows intentional irregularities and firing marks that emphasize material depth and the passage of time.
Comes with the original signed wooden box and cloth.
