Vase - Stoneware - Japan

A refined Bizen ware sake bottle (tokkuri) by Masayasu Wani (和仁正興), a contemporary Japanese ceramic artist known for powerful kiln-change (yōhen) effects and traditional anagama firing techniques. This piece features a dramatic natural kiln transformation, with deep scorched tones, rich earthy textures, and subtle natural ash effects that can only be achieved through long, high-temperature wood firing. The balanced form and expressive surface give this work both strong artistic presence and refined elegance. It is suitable not only as a functional sake vessel, but also as a sculptural ceramic artwork for refined interior display and serious collectors of Japanese ceramics. The piece comes with its original signed wooden box (tomobako) and original information card, ensuring authenticity and provenance. Condition: Good. No noticeable cracks or chips. Minor natural firing textures inherent to Bizen ware. Please refer to the photos for details. Shipping: Carefully packed and shipped from Japan with tracking. ※Important Information – Please Read Before Bidding※ Customs duties, VAT, and import clearance fees are not included in the shipping cost and are the responsibility of the buyer. These charges vary depending on your country’s import regulations and are beyond the seller’s control. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. All items are carefully packed and promptly shipped with tracking to ensure safe delivery. Please bid with confidence.
