Matsuoka Mizuki Long-necked Vase

This is a long-necked vase by Mizuki Matsuoka. Matsuoka's work is characterized by its serene sculptural beauty. Each piece is meticulously crafted, emphasizing the vessel's inner expanse, how it feels in the hand, and the beauty of negative space. His works feature unglazed pottery that showcases the natural texture of the clay, and ash glaze that changes with use. Among these, his series of white vessels adorned with silver detailing is particularly striking for its delicate beauty. ＜Precautions for Use＞ Sealing: Tea stains may occur.
