About the Item

This is a striking Japanese studio pottery vase, signed but with an unknown artist’s mark, housed in its original box. Likely crafted circa 1980, the vase showcases expert hand modeling with a distinctive shape, slightly curved and vertically elongated. Its surface is adorned with an intricate enamel glaze that shifts between deep blue and turquoise, interspersed with subtle golden accents that shimmer across its textured surface, evoking a sense of oceanic depth. The stylized fish motif at the center adds a unique character to the vase, blending traditional Japanese symbols with a contemporary flair. The hand-applied relief pattern along the edges enhances the piece’s tactile appeal, creating a harmonious fusion of color, texture, and form. This Studio Pottery vase will undoubtedly serve as a captivating centerpiece in any interior, adding a touch of Japanese aesthetic and sophisticated artistry to the space.

Japan, Spectacular Ceramic Vase by Akira Arakawa circa 2000
Located in PARIS, FR
Akira Arakawa, born in 1950 in Hamamatsu and a graduate of Kokushikan University’s Department of Architecture, has carved a unique path in Japanese ceramics. Although trained in architecture, he is a self-taught ceramic artist, renowned for his exceptional mastery of crystallized glazes. This intricate technique demands precise temperature control, reaching extreme levels of 1250°C to 1300°C to melt the glaze components thoroughly. As the temperature slowly decreases, crystals emerge, forming delicate flower or snowflake patterns on the glazed surface. By adding zinc or rutile, Arakawa can manipulate the size and shape of these crystals. This meticulous process results in captivating works like this deeply carved vase, where blue crystals stand out against earthy backgrounds, creating striking contrasts between crystallized and vitrified areas. Arakawa’s technical excellence has earned him numerous accolades, particularly in Japan’s ceramic competitions and exhibitions. Arakawa’s work has been featured in prestigious events, including multiple selections for the Nissin Noodle Bowl...
