A charming handcrafted rabbit ornament made of traditional Bizen ware by Karato Hotoku (唐桶报德), a ceramic artist associated with the historic Bizen pottery tradition of Okayama Prefecture, Japan.

This delightful sculpture captures the gentle and peaceful character of a resting rabbit. The warm reddish-brown tones, natural kiln effects, and subtle texture are characteristic features of authentic Bizen ware, one of Japan’s oldest ceramic traditions. Unlike glazed ceramics, Bizen ware is fired at high temperatures without glaze, allowing the clay and flame to create unique natural surface variations.

The piece comes with its original signed wooden storage box (tomobako) and artist leaflet. Its compact size and expressive form make it an attractive display piece for collectors of Japanese folk art, animal sculptures, and traditional ceramics.

A fine example of Handcrafted Vintage Bizen Ware that beautifully represents Japanese ceramic artistry.
