A magnificent iron glazed stoneware vase by mingei potter Kawai Toru.  He is the grandnephew of Kawai Kanjiro and the last to study under the legendary master.  Over the years, he has refined his own particular style of pottery  - one that focuses on clean lines and complex geometric forms.  Upwardly twisting facets (mentori), swirling vortexes, and flared rims are the trademarks of his craft and show a level of technical skill unseen in the works of former mingei masters.

The glaze takes its name from caramelized sugar, or amé in Japanese.  It comes with a signed wooden presentation box (ki-bako) made to order.
 Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
