This six sided vase by Yuichi Ikai takes its name from the two characters for ash (hai) and pottery (tō), and both are equally represented here.  It was fired in a saggar (clay cylinder) packed with cedar and oak shavings.  As the shavings burned at varying intensities, cooler at the top and hotter near the bottom, a gradation formed as the clay was permanently heat changed.  Vitrified patches of ash (pale green) formed naturally around the top and shoulders.

Exuding a raw, unrefined energy, this contemporary vase makes an eye-catching interior piece for any modern decor.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
