Item Description: This is a striking large-scale flower vessel (hanaire) by celebrated Shigaraki ceramic artist Koji Oki, crafted at his renowned Bizan Kiln (Bizangama). Rendered in traditional Shigaraki ware, the piece features a bold sculptural form with three organically shaped legs and a natural ash glaze finish achieved through high-temperature wood firing. The surface displays beautiful gradients of reddish-brown, beige, and natural ash deposits, offering a raw, earthy aesthetic that is quintessential to Shigaraki ceramics. The unusual and dynamic silhouette—at once abstract and evocative—makes this piece a standout sculptural work suitable for both floral arrangement and artistic display. The vessel comes with its original signed wooden box.
