Echizen Hanging Vase

Stoneware

Hôgetsugama

This vase is approx. 19.9 cm high and 7.3 cm wide. 

The rough surface creates a rustic feel, while the ash-sprinkle glaze has left a natural and unique decoration. Two drops have formed at the base of the vase. Such drops are appreciated by connoisseurs due to their rarity. Vases like this are often used in Japan inside or outside to decorate houses. They are popular decorative items that are adorned with seasonal flowers or branches. Since the holder is rigid, the vase hangs at an angle on the wall, so that the flowers or blossom branches hang out at an angle.
