    Description

    A small collector's vase of strict cylindrical form. Made by hand in the canonical tradition of unglazed, wood-fired Shigaraki ceramics, one of the “Six Ancient Kilns of Japan”. The rich terracotta body is decorated with natural runs and picturesque drips of olive-green glaze, formed by the melting of wood ash carried in the kiln.

    Marks

    The foot bears the original rectangular stamp of a Shigaraki kiln.
