This vase is one of Yu Sugimoto’s signature pieces, it features a combination of different geometric shapes, forming a unique vessel. Together with the grey and jade-ish glaze on the hi-iro clay colour, the vase creates a solid yet not too distracting base to hold your flowers. The deep gaps on the piece creates an illusion that the pieces are separated as two parts but yet it is still intact together.

Shigaraki ware is characterized by its iconic natural color gradient of browns and oranges. The surface often features rustic, rough and earthy textures caused by the existence of feldspar and quartz sand in the clay. You can still see the texture from the unglazed parts on the piece.
