This hand-thrown ceramic piece features an elegant sculptural silhouette with a subtle waist and vertical striations accentuated by a flowing drip glaze in earthy brown, olive, and indigo tones. The tactile surface and balanced form highlight the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—beauty found in craftsmanship and natural imperfection.

Likely created between the 1960s and 1980s, this vase represents the artistry of Japan’s mid-century studio pottery movement, when potters blended traditional handcraft with modernist design sensibilities. The incised signature on the base (度山 / “Doyama”) marks the work of a skilled artisan potter, adding authenticity and collectible appeal.
