☆ This piece is handcrafted from Shigaraki clay using hand-pinching and slab-building techniques. The interior is glazed with a transparent glaze, while the exterior surface features a brush-applied "ruri" (lapis lazuli) glaze, with gold accents added before firing. ☆ The iron-like texture and deep indigo color are captivating, creating a unique form that is both rugged and refined. The rough, textured clay body, reminiscent of a kiln-fired finish, and the deep indigo glass glaze are arranged as if nestled in the chest, creating a single-flower vase that evokes a fusion of metalwork and ceramics. 【Recommended Uses】 Display a single small plant such as wildflowers, dried flowers, or artificial flowers. ・Perfect for adding a touch of elegance to a modern Japanese-style space, study, or tea room. ・It also makes a striking statement as an object of art, even when displayed on its own.
