Japanese Contemporary Studio Pottery Vase – “Sen no Tsubo” (Vessel of Lines) by Sato Miki. A powerful and museum-quality work of Japanese contemporary studio ceramics. By Sato Miki , a recognized ceramic artist from Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture, born June 13, 1945. Weight: Body 2.6kg / Total with box approx. Dimensions: H 23.5cm × W 19cm / Mouth diameter 11cm. (? – “Vessel of Lines”). Original signed wooden box. Provenance documents included: Original artist biography sheet and 1983. (New Art Newspaper) article featuring the work. The Work: This large egg-shaped vessel is an exceptional example of Sato Miki’s signature. The entire surface is wrapped in rhythmic horizontal bands of two alternating textures – smooth compressed clay and deeply incised dotted scoring – creating a hypnotic, almost textile-like quality reminiscent of ancient woven cloth or geological strata. The palette moves from warm sandy beige to deep slate blue-grey, with a luminous blue-green glaze pooling richly at the irregular, deliberately unfinished rim – a bold contrast that highlights the artist’s mastery of controlled spontaneity. The interior is glazed in deep black with flashes of cerulean blue.

This is a beautifully hand-crafted Japanese studio pottery vase featuring a carved ume (plum blossom) motif flowing around the shoulder of the vessel. The warm ash-style glaze transitions from deep charcoal to golden amber, highlighting the textured surface and giving the piece a natural, wabi-sabi character. The vase includes its original signed wooden kiribako, inscribed in brush script. The underside bears the artist’s impressed seal, indicating authentic kiln production rather than mass manufacture. A high-quality decorative and collectible piece of modern Japanese ceramics.

A vase that whispers, not shouts. Made in Japan in the 1970s, this studio pottery vase embodies the wabi-sabi philosophy: quiet imperfection, presence, and grace. Its soft-shouldered form with inward neck recalls the persimmon jar, a shape rooted in centuries of Japanese ceramic tradition. Why this one is special. Hand-thrown Japanese studio pottery, c. Natural ash glaze with earthy ochre blushes and subtle irregularities. Surface alive with the potter’s hand: a thumbprint here, a ripple in the glaze, a kiln-scorched kiss of fire. Unsigned, as is common in Japanese practice – the work speaks louder than a name. Perfect for ikebana, incense, or simply as a meditative presence. Place it on a desk, windowsill, or quiet altar. Let your gaze settle on the curve of its shoulders, the cool grey clay, the warm blushes of glaze. It holds attention without grabbing it – a vessel of calm in a fast world. A gift with depth. For the designer who craves soul. For the seeker who values silence. For the friend who finds beauty in the unpolished. This vase is more than décor – it’s a contemplative object, a piece of slow magic. Type: Studio pottery vase / jar. Aesthetic: Wabi-sabi, Zen, Japanese studio pottery. Shape: Persimmon jar style with inward neck. Glaze: Natural ash glaze with earthy ochre blushes. Dimensions: 9 cm high approx. Signature: Unsigned (in line with tradition). Display: Suitable for ikebana, incense, or as standalone décor. No cracks or chips. Kiln effects and minor irregularities original to its handmade origin. Curated by Punks in Cardigans – Japanese vessels with presence, history, and calm.
