This is a Bizen-yaki flower vase. It is a work by Nanzan Horikawa. He is the second-generation potter of the Koraku kiln, which is now closed. The contrast between the faceted body and the tsurukubi (crane neck) is a wonderful feature of this masterpiece. It is a rugged and cool piece of pottery with the natural glaze and sesame marks characteristic of Bizen-yaki. I don't know the exact age, but I believe it is an item from a few decades ago. It has a modern design. It's a lovely piece of pottery that can be used practically or displayed for viewing. Bizen-yaki has an image of being high-end, but we offer items that are easy to incorporate into everyday life, so please pick one up and use it. How about the art of fire, Bizen-yaki? It will be shipped via Mercari delivery. Type...Pottery Type of pottery...Bizen-yaki
