About the Item

Sculptural Japanese studio ceramic vase distinguished by an hourglass form and a richly textured volcanic-style glaze. The surface is densely cratered, with layered tones of charcoal gray, deep indigo blue, and warm iron-brown, creating a dramatic tactile quality strongly associated with postwar Japanese ceramic practice. The restrained silhouette, combined with the expressive, almost geological glaze, reflects the Japanese emphasis on materiality, controlled imperfection, and kiln-driven effects. Subtle variations in color and texture reveal the maker's hand and the firing process, making each surface detail unique. Both sculptural and functional, this piece exemplifies the spirit of mid-20th-century Japanese studio ceramics, in which traditional techniques intersect with modernist form.
