Item Description
Kyoto Kiyomizu-yaki (京焼・清水焼) Celadon Vase by Yamazaki Koyo

This celadon-glazed (青磁釉) vase was crafted by Nitten exhibition artist (日展作家) Yamazaki Koyo at the Koyo-gama (光洋窯) kiln in Kyoto, within the Kyoto Kiyomizu-yaki tradition. A deep, luminous green glaze flows in a striking gradation from top to bottom, shifting in tone depending on the angle of light. The entire surface is covered in fine ice-crackle crazing (氷裂貫入), a delicate network of cracks resembling shattered ice, giving each viewing angle a captivating, one-of-a-kind quality. The rounded body tapers gently to the mouth, and the generous 28 cm height makes the piece equally striking as a flower vase or as a standalone display object. The piece comes from an old Kyoto family estate. The base bears a pottery mark (陶印).
