The vase is covered with a soft, pale celadon glaze that gives the surface a calm, jade-like appearance. Its slender body, gently flared mouth and two decorative handles create a refined and well-balanced silhouette. Subtle raised decoration on the body adds depth without disturbing the vase’s understated elegance. The artist’s seal is impressed on the base. The vase is accompanied by its original signed wooden box (tomobako), original paper box, signed protective cloth and an artist biography leaflet. The presence of these original materials makes this a particularly complete and desirable example for collectors of Japanese studio ceramics. It can be displayed as a decorative art object or used as a small flower vase for a single flower or a simple ikebana arrangement.
