Vintage Japanese Iga Vase — Ash-Glazed Wood-Fired Form (SKU: 25M-468-7)
An Echo of Fire and Earth, Forged in Tradition

This remarkable Iga-yaki (伊賀焼) vase whispers of Japan’s ancient kilns and the elemental beauty born from flame, clay, and time. Its rugged surface, coated with natural ash glaze and subtle greenish feldspar bursts, tells a story of fire's unpredictable dance and nature's quiet transformation. The asymmetrical curves and finger marks left by the potter honor the imperfections that define true wabi-sabi beauty.

Handcrafted using wood-fired techniques passed down through centuries, this vase emerges from the kiln not merely as a vessel but as a relic of patience and raw expression. It carries the scars and blessings of fire, with spontaneous glaze trails and earthy textures that make no two pieces alike. Complete with its original signed tomobako (wooden box), it’s a treasure for the discerning collector and the soulful space.
