Description
This small Anagama vase has a softly rounded form and a short cylindrical neck. Its calm proportions allow the colour and texture transitions created during the firing to become the main visual focus.
Pale sand, ash and soft grey tones dominate the upper section, passing through a smoky band into warmer brown and reddish-brown hues toward the base. Some areas remain matte and gently textured, while naturally formed ash glaze introduces a subtle sheen elsewhere. Visible throwing lines and individual fire marks further enrich the surface.
The vase was wheel-thrown from German clay and fired for 114 hours in the Karmazinai Anagama, reaching approximately 1300 °C, with no glaze applied beforehand. During the prolonged wood firing, flame and wood ash naturally formed the ash glaze, colour transitions and individual fire marks. The resulting surface cannot be reproduced in exactly the same way.
Height: 15,5 cm
Diameter 12 cm
Weight: 650 g
The vase is suitable for a single flower, a small branch or a modest botanical arrangement. Its rounded form and subtle colour transitions also make it beautiful when displayed on its own.
