A Japanese modern design flower vase (flower vessel) popular for its avant-garde design. This is a vintage piece from around the 1960s-70s. This piece strongly reflects the characteristics of Oribe ware, with its asymmetrical and original form, and a deep green "green glaze." The design features an impressive contrast between beautiful curves and edges, with lines resembling three steps flowing from right to left on the two longer sides (see images 7-8). The entire piece has crazing (a characteristic of pottery where the glaze forms a network of fine cracks as it cools after firing due to differences in shrinkage rates between the body and glaze. This enhances the individuality and beauty of the pottery. See image 12), giving it a nice texture. And above all, the deep colors created by the clay and glaze fired at a high temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius are captivating. The combination of these colors and the sculptural form allows for a variety of expressions depending on the light and viewing angle. The condition is good, with no noticeable dirt, scratches, or chips, as shown in the images. The design matches perfectly with Scandinavian vintage cabinets, mid-century furniture, and interiors without any sense of incongruity. It can be used not only as a regular flower vase but also as an objet d'art, a container for small items, or for fragrant potpourri, and even as a pot for succulents. <Size (slight errors are forgivable)> Width: approx. 30cm Depth: approx. 15.5cm Maximum height: approx. 9.5cm Images from the 13th onwards are for items sold separately, but we also have other vintage goods for sale.
