Description from the seller
A curated three-piece set of Japanese wood-fired ceramics from the 1970–1980 period: two flower vases and one Bizen sake bottle (tokkuri).

Vase 1: Height 19.5 cm × Width 9.5 cm × Depth 9.5 cm
Vase 2: Height 21 cm × Width 10 cm × Depth 10 cm
Tokkuri: Height 13 cm × Width 10 cm × Depth 10 cm
