Description from the seller
Vintage Japanese Oribe Ware Ceramic Ikebana Basin – 48 cm Signed Rectangular Green Glaze Flower Vessel
【Description】
A strikingly sculptural vintage Japanese Mino Oribe stoneware rectangular basin (Oribe-yaki Suiban / Moribachi), featuring characteristic deep copper-green vitrified glaze and iron-brush floral abstraction.
Artisanal Craftsmanship & Traditional Oribe Aesthetics:
Narumi-Oribe Style Contrasts: Combines poolings of luminous emerald copper-green glaze with an unglazed/white slip ground, capturing the asymmetrical playful spirit of Momoyama-period tea aesthetics.
Iron-Brush Motifs (Tetsue):
Hand-painted with dynamic iron-oxide abstract plum/floral roundels along the basin interior and bold vertical chocolate-brown stripes across the stepped perimeter walls.
Asymmetrical Indented Rim:
Designed with architectural flared wall steps and a gentle waist indent, optimized for dramatic Ikebana floral arrangements.
Potter's Incised Mark:
Features an authentic incised artisan signature on the unglazed footed underside.
Contemporary Interior Display:
With its generous 48 cm long linear silhouette and low 6.5 cm rim, this vessel serves as an exquisite Ikebana flower arranger, dining table centerpiece bowl, or decorative Japandi accent piece.
【Materials & Construction】
Ceramic: Heavy high-fired Mino stoneware with copper-green lead-silicate glaze, white slip, and iron-oxide pigmentation.
【Condition】
Exhibits fine, clean vintage condition overall with well-preserved glaze lustre. Condition details include:
Faint, age-appropriate kiln variations, natural glaze crazing, and authentic firing marks on the underside consistent with traditional Japanese studio stoneware.
Free of structural cracks, breaks, or repairs; rim profiles remain crisp and stable.
Important Note:
This is an authentic handcrafted vintage studio ceramic piece. Please carefully inspect all provided high-resolution detailed photographs to verify the exact physical condition, glaze texture, and studio markings prior to placing your bid.
