This elegant vase features a rounded belly and a long, slender neck. The glaze colors blend harmoniously: deep green, warm brown, and creamy white merge into a characterful composition. The gritty texture of the ceramic adds a tactile dimension, while the crackled glaze pattern lends subtle depth and refinement.

On the vase’s belly, Japanese calligraphy reads: 新象記念 川島 (Shinzō Kinen Kawashima)—a tribute to a special occasion, crafted by the renowned Kawashima workshop.

The vase is in perfect condition and comes with its original wooden storage box and accompanying documentation—ideal for collectors or enthusiasts of Japanese pottery.

A distinctive and authentic piece that radiates both serenity and character.
