About the Item

This striking ceramic vase from Japan, dating to the late 20th century, features a bold monochrome palette and a highly expressive surface. The bulbous form tapers into a narrow neck, emphasizing the elegance of its silhouette. Executed in a rich black and white glaze, the surface is adorned with abstracted botanical forms — likely stylized lotus leaves or seed pods — rendered with gestural spontaneity. The bold contrast and organic flow of the decoration evoke a sense of movement, recalling Japanese sumi-e ink painting or woodblock print aesthetics. The texture of the glaze is subtly uneven, contributing to the tactile richness and handcrafted feel. This piece embodies the harmony of nature and abstraction, central to Japanese ceramic traditions, while presenting a distinctly modern aesthetic. Condition: Excellent vintage condition with intentional glaze variation. Provenance: Private collection, Japan
