Elevate your interior or ikebana practice with this masterful example of contemporary Mino-ware. Crafted by the celebrated potter Kato Keito (加藤景陶), this vessel embodies the bold, revolutionary spirit of the Oribe style, blending centuries of tradition with a striking modern aesthetic.

Artistic Highlights
  • Signature Ao-Oribe Glaze: The vase is enveloped in a deep, translucent emerald-green copper glaze. The "melted" appearance of the glaze, with its rich drips and varied tones, is a hallmark of high-quality Oribe pottery.
  • Expert "Mentori" Craftsmanship: The term Mentori refers to the artist’s technique of shaving and chamfering the clay to create sharp, vertical facets. This creates a rugged, "bamboo-like" texture that catches the light and adds a dynamic, sculptural quality to the piece.
  • Organic, Expressive Form: Eschewing the rigid perfection of the potter's wheel, this vessel features the intentional asymmetry and "warped" beauty favored by tea ceremony masters since the 16th century.
  • Height: 27cm. Width: 12cm. Weight: 1855,7 gr.
