Organic Ikebana Vase with Abstract Glaze – 1970s

A sculptural, slender ikebana vase in dark brown Shigaraki stoneware. The subtle curves in its form enhance the elegant silhouette and add a gentle sense of rhythm.

The upper section is decorated with an expressive cream-to-sepia glaze that flows in broad bands across the matte surface, creating a striking, almost modernist pattern.

Dimensions: height 31 cm, diameter 13 cm. In excellent condition.

The interplay between the softly lustrous glaze and the fine-grained stoneware body gives the vase a strong, organic presence. Ideally suited for a single branch or a minimalist ikebana arrangement.

A characterful design piece in which traditional Japanese craftsmanship and abstract visual language merge in a natural way.
