A signed Bizen ware flower vase by Izuru Yamamoto, a distinguished Japanese ceramic artist and designated Okayama Prefectural Intangible Cultural Property holder. This vase is formed in unglazed stoneware and fired using traditional high-temperature wood kiln techniques. The surface features natural ash deposits and iron-rich clay tones, creating warm beige and reddish-brown effects characteristic of refined Bizen ceramics. The sculptural form and rhythmic surface marks reflect Yamamoto’s pursuit of clay as a medium for three-dimensional expression. The base bears the artist’s incised signature, and the piece is accompanied by its original wooden storage box, original cloth, and a biographical leaflet, supporting clear attribution to Izuru Yamamoto. A well-balanced work that combines the quiet strength of traditional Bizen with a modern sculptural presence, suitable for both display and ikebana. Condition: Good. Minor surface irregularities and firing marks consistent with age and traditional Bizen kiln firing. No cracks or restorations.
