Vintage Japanese Mashiko Pottery Vase — 2000s, Heisei Era (SKU: 25M-540-1)
Where Earth Meets Sky in Ceramic Harmony

This breathtaking Mashiko-yaki (益子焼) vase embodies the quiet power and raw beauty of Japanese ceramic tradition. With its rounded, organic silhouette and a glaze that flows like a mountain stream in spring, the piece speaks not only of nature but of the hands that shaped it. The creamy clay body is partially cloaked in a veil of emerald green and smoky ash-black, cascading from the rim in soft rivulets—each one capturing the spontaneity and soul of the kiln.

Hand-thrown in the famed pottery town of Mashiko, this vase reflects both wabi-sabi simplicity and refined craftsmanship. Its thick walls and slightly uneven surface are not imperfections, but living traces of the artisan’s gesture. Whether displayed on a tokonoma or holding a seasonal ikebana arrangement, this piece invites quiet contemplation, grounding any space with its elemental grace.
