It has a history and a very good taste. There are no major cracks or chips. Size: Width 10.5 x Height 10.5 cm This is a small vase of "crouching (uzukumaru)", one of the representative shapes of Shigaraki ware. It was named for its unique low and sturdy shape, like a person crouching. The characteristic rough texture of Shigaraki ware, the "vidro glaze (natural glaze)" that naturally formed during firing, and the red-colored "hishoku (scarlet)" scenery are beautiful, giving a sense of wabi-sabi. It can be used as a flower vase for tea ceremonies, as well as a single-flower vase to brighten up everyday spaces. It is a type with hanging hardware, so it can also be used as a hanging flower vase. There are distortions and "sagging" during firing, but this is a characteristic of the style and appeal of Shigaraki ware. There are no noticeable large chips or cracks. Pottery...
