This elegant vase is a fine example of Shigaraki ware, one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns with a history dating back to the eighth century1. Shigaraki ware is known for its coarse and fire-resistant clay that acquires a warm and rich coloring during the firing process2. This vase features a tubular shape with a handle and a carved pattern on the surface. The black glaze contrasts beautifully with the reddish-brown clay, creating a rustic and sophisticated appearance. The vase is suitable for displaying flowers or as a decorative piece on its own. It measures 12.5 cm in length and 22 cm in height. This vase is a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates Japanese pottery and culture.
