Fuji Shumei 花瓶 - 瓷 - 日本 - Shōwa period (1926-1989)

花瓶：有田谷地的黎明

由藤井周明的瓷花瓶，来自欧洲收藏。自欧洲发货：对欧盟竞拍者免征关税。

装饰以从蓝色逐渐过渡到淡紫再到白色的柔和色调展开，仿佛有田谷上空晨曦的柔和光线。
覆林坡的树木通过 konoha‑gihō 葉脉印技法制作：在烧制前将叶片贴在表面，留下叶脉的纹理。这些自然纹理形成层叠的景深，从第一层深色树木到逐渐融入彩雾的更轻的轮廓。
这种从深色到明亮的过渡，通过层层植物浮雕的叠加，赋予花瓶明显的气氛深度：目光穿过树脊，抵达被淡光笼罩的上部区域，宛如黎明初升。

Vase: Dawn over the Arita Valley

Porcelain vase by Fujii Shumei. Shipped from Europe: no customs fees for EU bidders.

The decoration unfolds in a gradient from blue to subtle lavender tones and finally white, suggesting the soft, rising light of dawn over the Arita valley.
The forested slopes are created using the konoha‑gihō leaf‑imprint technique: leaves are pressed onto the surface before firing, and their natural vein patterns form layered textures. These overlapping impressions structure the landscape, from the darker foreground trees to the lighter, mist‑covered ridges blending into the pale upper light.
The transition from deep tones to near‑white creates a marked sense of atmospheric depth, guiding the eye from the dense forest toward the luminous sky.
