Vintage Japanese Flower Vase, 1980s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-267-2)
Showa-era studio pottery with warm kiln-fired gradients and hand-carved motif
This rounded Japanese vase showcases the earthy elegance of late Showa-period ceramics. The softly swollen form is thrown in a sandy stoneware clay, then finished with a natural ash-style firing that leaves subtle gradations of cream, amber, and reddish-brown across the surface. The shoulder is left with a gently burnished, unglazed rim, emphasizing the tactility of the clay and giving the piece a distinctly wabi-sabi presence.
Across the body, a repeating hand-incised pattern creates a lively all-over texture that catches the light and enhances the vase’s sculptural silhouette. Signed with the potter’s seal to the base and housed in its original wooden tomobako storage box, this vintage Japanese vase is ideal as a standalone objet d’art or for displaying seasonal ikebana in a contemporary interior.
