This striking vase is a refined example of Shigaraki ware, one of Japan’s oldest ceramic traditions with a history of over 700 years in Shiga Prefecture. Known for its natural textures and earthy tones, Shigaraki pottery embodies the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi—finding beauty in imperfection, simplicity, and the passage of time.
The vase features a sculptural silhouette with an organic opening and a bold arc-shaped cut. Flowing green and brown glazes merge into natural gradients, enhanced by subtle ash deposits and kiln variations that ensure each piece is one of a kind.
Perfect for seasonal flower arrangements or as a decorative statement on its own, this vase highlights the timeless artistry of Shigaraki ware. Both functional and expressive, it brings warmth, depth, and character to any interior.
