Shigaraki Ware Moss Green & Earth Glaze Vase
Shigaraki Ware Moss Green & Earth Glaze Vase Sale price$120.00 AUD

Inspired by the natural beauty of the Japanese landscape, this Shigaraki Ware Vase features a stunning blend of earthy textures and organic colours. Soft moss green and cream glazes flow gently over a deep charcoal-brown surface, gradually transitioning into warm sandy tones at the base.

The vase's rounded, egg-shaped silhouette is complemented by a narrow opening and subtle horizontal lines around the neck. Delicate speckles, natural glaze variations, and a lightly crackled surface create a rich, expressive finish that reflects the rustic charm of traditional Shigaraki pottery.

Beautiful as a standalone decorative piece or paired with seasonal branches and floral arrangements, this vase brings a sense of warmth, simplicity, and Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics to any interior.

Its harmonious combination of earthy tones and flowing glazes makes each viewing angle uniquely captivating.

Shigaraki ware (called Shigaraki yaki in Japanese) is a type of pottery made around the town of Shigaraki in Shiga prefecture.
Clays such as kibushi, mizuchi, or gairome are kneaded to make a strong clay that can be used to make thick and large pottery vessels.
One notable feature of Shigaraki ware is that it is made using coarse soil so it is highly fire-resistant. In the firing process, it acquires pink or other shades of red, becoming red with scarlet or brown overtones.
Due to subtle changes that depend on the temperature and firing method, Shigaraki ware's white clay takes on a scarlet glow and warm coloring, a characteristic unique to this craft.
When the pottery gets buried in the ashes from complete combustion of wood in the kiln, the bottom portion takes on a softer, dark brown color. The fact that this pottery is glazed also helps give the surface a smooth look. The rusty glaze on the scorched portions of Shigaraki ware is prized in tea utensils.
Shigaraki ware is unique because of its simple warmth and rich expressiveness.

At Seifuu Creations, we take pride in offering high-quality ceramic products, including both handcrafted and machine-made pieces. While we strive for consistency, slight variations in color, size, weight, texture, and glaze may occur due to the nature of ceramic production.
