Thank you for viewing. The appeal of the Bizen-yaki Tokkuri Vase (21cm tall, with a wooden box) by Hiroshi Kimura lies first and foremost in the natural beauty of the clay and the firing process unique to Bizen-yaki. Bizen-yaki, which does not use glaze, offers a unique expression with each piece due to the kiln changes, such as hidasuki (flame markings), goma (sesame seed-like markings), and hidasuki (reddish flame markings). Mr. Hiroshi Kimura is an artist known for his refined aesthetic while inheriting the traditional techniques of Bizen. This Tokkuri Vase also has an attractive, elegant form and a calm texture. The 21cm height gives it a presence as both a vase and a tokkuri (sake bottle), offering the enjoyment of both use and appreciation. ★Dimensions★ Height: 21cm Body Diameter: 9.6cm I am "Tojiki Yosoro," a dealer in antique ceramics residing in Imari City, Saga Prefecture, a town known for ceramics (License No. 911100009525).
