Item Description: This is a striking Kutani ware ceramic vase, featuring a bold and abstract design in layered tones of green, grey, and black with a hint of purple. The surface displays a fractured geometric pattern resembling shards of glass or leaves in motion, enhanced by the high-gloss glaze that adds depth and vibrancy to the piece. The vase’s bulbous form tapers into a short neck, giving it a strong yet balanced presence. The abstract surface pattern reflects a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The base is signed by the artist and the accompanying original tomobako (wooden box) is inscribed and sealed, indicating authenticity and collectible value. Perfect as a flower vase or a standalone sculptural object, this work exemplifies the creativity and craftsmanship of Kutani ware, a traditional Japanese ceramic style with a 360-year history known for its bold use of color and innovative expression. Size: Height: 23 cm Width: 23 cm Depth: 23 cm Weight: 2423 g Artist Profile: The vase is signed 九谷焼 (Kutani-yaki), a prestigious style of Japanese porcelain originating from Ishikawa Prefecture. Kutani ware is renowned for its overglaze enamels and bold designs. The signature on the base and inscriptions on the tomobako indicate it was made by a contemporary Kutani artisan, though the exact artist’s name is not clearly identifiable from the mark.
