Matsuoka Mizuki Cone-shaped Vase

This is Mizuki Matsuoka's conical vase. Matsuoka's works are captivating for their quiet sculptural beauty, rooted in her background in sculpture. Each piece is meticulously crafted, valuing the expansive interior of the vessel, how it feels in the hand, and the beauty of negative space. His works include unglazed stoneware that utilizes the natural texture of the clay itself, and ash glazes that change over time with use. Among these, her series of white vessels with silver accents is particularly striking for its delicate beauty. ＜Care Instructions＞ Sealing: Tea stains may occur.
