Echizen Vase

This vase is 12.8 cm tall and 12 cm wide.

The shape is inspired by a jug. The rough surface creates a rustic feel, while the ash glaze has left a natural and unique decoration. In some places, the glaze was exposed to such high temperatures that a greenish glaze formed. Vases like this are not only used in the Japanese tea ceremony. They are popular decorative items that are adorned with seasonal flowers or branches.
