Shigaraki Ceramic Sculptural Ikebana Vase – Japan, 1970s

Exceptional Japanese Shigaraki vase (信楽焼), crafted in the 1970s and complete with its original signed wooden tomobako storage box.

Dimensions: height 23 cm, diameter 31 cm. Weight 6 kg.

This impressive piece embodies the wabi-sabi aesthetics of Shigaraki ware: a rough, dark-brown textured surface combined with an irregular, sculptural rim that evokes the beauty of natural erosion.

Conceived as an ikebana vase (花瓶, kabin), its open, organic form offers endless possibilities for floral arrangements and contemporary interiors. Even without flowers, it stands as a powerful decorative object.

Marked with a kiln stamp on the base, confirming its authenticity and workshop origin.

Condition: excellent. With original signed tomobako.
