This is a Karatsu-yaki flower vase with handles. The glaze has a grayish-green to bluish-Karatsu color, and the flow and pooling of the glaze create a scenery typical of Karatsu ware. The handles on both sides also serve as an accent to the design, making it a flower vase that looks great in a tokonoma alcove or a Japanese-style space. Comes with a wooden box. There are no noticeable cracks or chips, and the condition is generally good. (Please understand that variations in the glaze and crazing due to aging are part of the character of Karatsu-yaki.) The details of the artist are unknown, but as a Karatsu-yaki flower vase by a local artist, it is a piece with a lot of atmosphere. 【Size (approx.)】 Height: 30cm Body diameter: 17cm Mouth diameter: 12cm *Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. We kindly request that those who understand antique pottery and Karatsu-yaki purchase this item.
