A recent find from an old Japanese tea pottery collection
This is an extraordinary Japanese Shigaraki Hand Thrown Vase from the early 20th century.
Wabi sabi crafted as a purposely tilted creation. Luscious rich blue and cream glazes cover its extremities. Wood collector storage box tomobako.
Used perhaps as a vase or water vessel, this superb example possesses some say -wabi-sabi – the Japanese aesthetic of perfection of the imperfection – that unmistakable sublime look and feel collectors seek and covet. It has no repairs or damages.
It would also make a very special vase.
We were very lucky to have found this one from our recent acquisitions in Japan. It would be difficult to improve on this fine example.
Dimensions: 10 inches tall
Provenance: old Kyoto/Shiga tea art collection
Only one. Irreplaceable.
Wabi-sabi is a concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics constituting a world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence , specifically impermanence , suffering and emptiness or absence of self-nature.
