The silky matte surface with fine speckling and three small shoulder protrusions give the piece a sculptural, modern character, making it just as striking as a standalone design object as it is in use for floral arrangements.

Dimensions: height 21 cm, diameter 19 cm.

The original wooden box bears the inscription “kōchi glaze flower vase,” and the accompanying card reads “creative ceramics, Tachikichi,” the renowned Kyoto firm working closely with Kiyomizu workshops. An additional inscription on the underside indicates that the vase was originally presented as a gift.

A refined example of late 20th-century Japanese studio pottery, where traditional glaze artistry meets modern design sensibility. This piece has an attribution mark,
