This refined porcelain vase by Kimura Yoshiro is distinguished by its luminous glass-like glaze and quietly commanding vertical form. The slender, tapering silhouette rises with calm precision, emphasizing balance and restraint. A transparent blue glass glaze envelops the surface, pooling subtly toward the lower body and thinning near the rim, where light passes through with clarity and depth. Fine crackle within the glaze creates a delicate network that animates the surface, revealing tonal shifts from deep cobalt to clear turquoise. Beneath the glaze, the porcelain body remains crisp and controlled, reflecting the artist’s disciplined approach to material and firing. The narrow mouth and elongated profile lend the vase a sculptural presence, suitable for a single stem or contemplative display. Combining technical refinement with poetic stillness, this work exemplifies Kimura Yoshiro’s sensitivity to light, surface, and the expressive potential of glass-glazed porcelain.
