This is a Shigaraki-yaki vase, one of the six ancient kilns of Japan. Using natural clay and fire, and with the traditional techniques and the craftsman's sensibilities, this is a one-of-a-kind piece with a profound world. This vase is thick-walled, which is a characteristic feature of Shigaraki-yaki.
