Set of Two Japanese Vintage Drip-Glaze Vases – ca. 1980

A striking pair of handmade Japanese vases from the 1980s, featuring a distinctive nagashi-yū (drip-glaze) technique.

Dimensions: Height 14.5 cm, diameter 10 cm. In perfect condition.

The vibrant color combinations and organic glaze flow make each piece unique.

One vase boasts a deep red base with expressive streaks of yellow-green, blue, and purple cascading in flame-like patterns. The other showcases a lustrous interplay of midnight blue, black, and turquoise. Both vases rest on hexagonal feet, with rounded bodies and wide, gently flared necks—an elegant silhouette that shines as a standalone piece or as a duo.

The vases feature a gold-colored inscription:

"戸倉 上山田" (Togura Kamiyamada) – referencing the historic ceramic-producing region in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

A joyful and bold accent piece that blends Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetics with unmistakable 1980s charm.
