Superb Quality Signed Studio Pottery Suiban Here is an exceptionally elegant, slab-built Suiban. This high-quality studio piece features a distinct potter’s hanko (chop mark) near the base, denoting expert craftsmanship and artisanal origins. Finished in a sophisticated mottled ash and iron-oxide glaze, the tray possesses a beautiful organic patina and a heavy, “well-poured” feel typical of fine mid-century style stoneware. Versatile Display Uses: Suiseki: Perfect for displaying viewing stones in sand or to create a miniature landscape. Ikebana: An ideal basin for Moribana style flower arrangements using a kenzan (frog). Home Decor: Its minimalist, brutalist aesthetic makes it a stunning standalone tray for candles or as a high-end catch-all. Condition: In good vintage condition. There is one slight crack to one edge/corner but it remains solid. Measurements: approximately 24cm (L) x 12cm (W) x 7.5cm (H). A rare opportunity to own a signed piece of functional studio art. Please see all photos for a detailed view of the maker’s mark and glaze texture as well as the crack previously mentioned.

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.
