Dimensions: height 22 cm, diameter 20 cm.

The vase has a strong rounded form with a restrained neck and two small hand-shaped decorative lugs. The surface shows a rich yūsai glaze with a rough, mineral texture: pale grey near the top, gradually shifting into warm earthy tones and deep blue-green nuances around the base. A quiet yet expressive ceramic work, ideal for ikebana or as a sculptural object in a calm, contemporary interior.

The set is complete with its wooden tomobako, ukon-fu cloth, and documentation. The vase is in perfect condition, with no damage. This piece has an attribution mark,
