Finished in a warm amber glaze, this vase shifts in tone as the light changes — deepening in shadow, brightening where the glaze thins. The color is the product of kiln temperature and time, not pigment. Furutani Pottery works in Shiga, Japan, forming and glazing each vase by hand. The process is unhurried — each piece is made individually, one at a time, and the maker's attention shows in the way it holds a stem or sits alone on a shelf. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition into your home. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Japanese pottery (ceramic) Made in Shiga, Japan Artisan: Furutani Pottery Size: 13.3 × 10 × 19.7 cm (5.2 × 3.9 × 7.8 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
