Matsuoka Mizuki Pot Vase

This is a cylindrical vase by Mizuki Matsuoka. Matsuoka's works are captivating for their quiet sculptural beauty. Each piece is meticulously crafted, focusing on the expansion within the vessel, how it feels in the hand, and the beauty of negative space. His work features unglazed stoneware that highlights the natural expression of the clay, and ash glazes that change with use. Among them, the series of white vessels with silver gilding is particularly striking for its delicate beauty. Care Instructions: Seasoning: Tea stains may occur.
