A “Kiseto” flower vase fired in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture. The refined octagonal form is carved with precision, and the warm yellowish-brown glaze has been applied as if melting into the surface. The areas where the red clay body is left exposed create subtle contrast, allowing one to enjoy changing the display angle depending on the flowers or branches arranged within. Kiseto ware is a ceramic tradition that developed in the Mino and Seto regions from the late Muromachi to the Momoyama period. It is characterized by its soft yellow glaze (kiyu) and gentle iron spots, embodying a serene and elegant expression unique to Japanese aesthetics. Show more
