Japanese Antique Crucible 1920s-1940s / Flower Vase Wabisabi
About the Item
This is an old Japanese crucible.
It is a refractory tool used to melt metals in the early Showa period (1920s-1940s).
The material is estimated to be refractory clay containing graphite, and it is extremely sturdy and capable of withstanding high temperatures.
The surface shows discoloration caused by heat and chemical reactions when the metal was melted, as well as textures that have developed over time.
The patterns that these accidentally create have the presence of a contemporary art object.
This crucible, which bears witness to the history of the intersection of industry and handicrafts, is still full of charm as an object even after it has finished its role as a tool.
Just by placing it in a corner of your space, you can feel the layering of time and the depth of the material.
It is a precious piece that combines industrial functional beauty and the spirit of the Japanese aesthetic of “wabi-sabi.
Weight: 13 kg

Our Philosophy
Objects always tell the truth.
All I can do is just to face with them sincerely and give
them deep affection as much as I can.
There is no boundary of nationalities and of eras in beauty.
But I think now is the time we choose 'Japanese style' and it
will be the best way to remind us of what we are losing
today and to question us about an essence of beauty again.
I hope that you can touch the memories which the objects here have,
feel and think of something invisible but exists undoubtedly.
