About the Item

This exquisite handmade stoneware vase is reminiscent of the famed Japanese Shigaraki pottery tradition, renowned for its use of local sandy clay from the bed of Lake Biwa, imparting a warm orange hue and exceptional durability to the ceramics. Crafted with attention to detail, this vase features a flask-like shape with a narrow waist, accentuated by two protruding elements on each side of the flask's "head." The surface is adorned with a glossy transparent glaze. What sets this vase apart is its unique grainy texture, characterized by white grains embedded within the brown stoneware. This distinctive feature gives the vase a rustic yet elegant charm, reminiscent of barnacles clinging to a rocky surface. Inspired by the aesthetic of Japanese Shigaraki ware, this vase showcases a white texture against a brown ground, evoking the raw beauty of nature. Shigaraki pottery is known for its irregular contours and archaic flavor, often used for storage vessels such as jars and bottles. Handmade with skill and precision, this stoneware vase is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of its maker, offering a blend of traditional Japanese influence and contemporary design sensibility.

Kaneshige Toyo National Treasure Signed Japanese Bizen Pottery Sake Bottle Vase
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful, perfectly shaped and balanced antique Bizen ware shibui sake bottle (tokkuri) vase by renowned Japanese master potter/artist Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) featuring a unique natural, wonderfully textured organic forming ash glaze. Kaneshige is universally considered to be the founder of modern Bizen pottery. In 1956, Kaneshige was certified as a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Heritage) for his work in Bizen Ware pottery/ceramics. Bizen Ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of the Okayama prefecture. It is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware). The piece is signed/ sealed on the base with one of Kaneshige's traditional incised marks. A rather striking and engaging work. One of the best Kaneshige works we have come across. Scarce and hard to find in such an excellent condition. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese/Asian pottery or Bizen Ware collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Kaneshige's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, Seto, Japan Brooklyn Museum, NY Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi, Japan Honolulu Art Museum, HI Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, Kasama, Japan Indiana Art...
