Kutani Glazed Vase with Special Wooden Box

九谷焼 7号花瓶 釉彩

This Kutani-yaki vase is distinguished by its vivid colors and graceful gradation, created using Saiyu, a glazing technique unique to Kutani ware. The artist, Hiroshi Shibata, has been selected 15 times for the prestigious Nitten Exhibition, Japan’s most renowned art and craft showcase.

Kutani ware has preserved its cultural value for centuries, known for its rich palette of red, green, yellow, purple, and navy blue. These colors are beautifully applied to a wide range of motifs—flowers, birds, landscapes, figures, and striking geometric patterns. Skillful brushwork combined with precise potter’s wheel technique reflects the mastery of its creators.

This piece comes in a traditional wooden box, making it an exceptional work of art for collectors and admirers of Japanese craftsmanship.
