Giovanni Bottero

An elegant group consisting of two vintage Japanese Bizen ware ceramic vessels, executed in the
traditional unglazed technique for which Bizen pottery is renowned. 

Both pieces display characteristic natural ash deposits and subtle firing effects created in
wood-fired kilns. The surfaces show warm earthy tones ranging from deep reddish-brown to
darker shades, with organic fire marks and natural variations that make each piece unique.
Their aesthetic reflects the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy, valuing simplicity, balance, and
the beauty of natural imperfection.

The larger vessel features a classic elongated bottle form with gently sloping shoulders and
a narrow neck. The smaller piece has a rounded body with a fitted lid, forming a harmonious
and well-balanced pair.

Dimensions:
Large:

Height: 195 mm
Diameter: 105 mm

Small:

Height: 125 mm

Condition:

Very good overall condition. No visible cracks or restorations. Minor surface
irregularities and firing marks are consistent with the traditional Bizen technique and age.

Excellent condition: barely used with minimal signs of wear - 195 mm
