About the Item

This Akashi-Awaji pottery vase, dating to circa 1930, exemplifies the modernist direction and innovative glaze work characteristic of late Awaji ware, particularly after the Sanpei kiln’s relocation to the mainland city of Akashi. The piece is notable for its thick, expressive white drip glaze applied over a globular, hand-thrown body with dramatic slashing and indentations that accentuate the crawling glaze effect. Measuring approximately 9 1/4 inches in height and 9 inches in diameter, it bears an impressed four-character pottery mark above the foot. Excellent condition.
