Item Description This striking stoneware vase is a captivating example of contemporary Japanese studio ceramics, showcasing a bold, ovoid form with a compact mouth opening. The vessel is enveloped in a richly mottled ore-stone glaze (koromogake / sekiyu) that shifts between warm ochre-yellow, deep russet-brown, and mossy olive-green, evoking the raw beauty of volcanic rock and weathered earth. The glaze surface is tactile and richly textured — speckled with mineral crystalline particles that catch the light — while areas of glossy pooling contrast with drier, more granular zones to create a landscape of natural variation. Subtle throwing lines visible around the body attest to its hand-crafted origins on the potter's wheel. The base reveals an unglazed stoneware foot ring with a characteristic spiral trimming pattern, exposing the natural warm terracotta clay body beneath. A work of quiet power that would make an exceptional statement piece in any contemporary or traditional interior. Size Height: 23 cm Width: 13 cm Depth: 13 cm Weight 1,411 g Condition The vase is in good overall condition with no chips or cracks; the glaze shows the natural variation and textured surface characteristic of the ore-stone firing technique, which is entirely intentional and part of the artistic expression.
