Shigaraki Yaki (Ware) White and Gray Vase

信楽焼 白窯変　長　花入

This handcrafted vase is a distinguished example of Shigaraki ware, one of Japan’s oldest ceramic traditions with origins over 700 years ago. Produced in the historic kilns of Shiga Prefecture, it embodies the rustic charm and natural beauty that define this celebrated style.

The surface features earthy glazes of deep brown and creamy white, accented with flowing textures that evoke water or foliage. Subtle variations from kiln firing—where flames and ash interact with the clay—create a one-of-a-kind finish, enhanced by its organic surface and slightly uneven rim.

Both functional and artistic, this vase is perfect for displaying seasonal flowers or as a sculptural piece on its own. Timeless and versatile, it harmonizes effortlessly with modern interiors while carrying the warmth and authenticity of Japanese craftsmanship.

Size: 4.3” x 11.0"
