AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A limited-edition peanut-shaped vase with a ruri-glazed finish, created in 2000 by Japanese Living National Treasure Takuo Kato
. The signature azure glaze is lustrous and full, hand-thrown in one piece, and comes with its original box. Perfect for Japanese flower arrangement and tea room settings, this is a rare and exquisite ceramic collectible from a renowned artist.
The Kobei kiln was founded in 1804 and has continued for over two hundred years as one of the great kilns of Mino ware. Its sixth-generation master, Kato Takuo 1917–2005, devoted his life to reviving lost ceramic techniques — most famously the legendary Persian luster glaze and the Shosoin three-color ware, the latter reconstructed at the request of the Imperial Household Agency. In 1995 he was designated a Living National Treasure. His work fused ancient Persian ceramic art with Japanese tradition, and the kiln's signature blue glaze descends directly from the Persian blue he pioneered.
