Shigaraki Nut Vases: Snow

$26 ~~$52~~ In stock

The vase that holds space beautifully – whether filled or empty. Sculptural forms in matte white glaze, softened at the rim, grounded by tradition. Made by third-generation Shigaraki-yaki maker Marui Seito using techniques passed down through 1,260 years of ceramic mastery.

Each piece emerges from one of Japan's six oldest kilns in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture – designated a traditional craft by the national government in 1976. The subtle irregularities, the organic shape, the way light plays across that textured surface: all hallmarks of work thrown by hand — and the surest sign that no two pieces are identical. Available in two sizes that nest beautifully together or stand independently.

Also available in Smoke.

Part of our Japanese Minimalism collection.
