Hiroaki Wada has trained for the past 13 years under his father, Tozan Wada, at the family-owned kiln in Hyogo prefecture.  Much like his mentor, he excels in Kyoyaki (Kyoto ware) enamel overglazed pottery and porcelain.  In 2002, both father and son opened a new chapter in the history of the kiln with the christening of Oizumi-gama - a wood burning noborigama (climbing kiln) located far away in Yamanashi Prefecture. Three or four times a year, they make the long trip there for week-long firings.

This inspired vase is the product of their most recent collaboration.  It was formed by Hiroaki Wada and overglazed with a paste made of rice husks and water.  At 1,250°C (2,300°F) degrees, the husks fused with the clay body, forming a textured landscape accented with flashes of green and amber.  It has immediate appeal to our tactile sense and rarely goes untouched.

This piece is tall enough to accommodate arrangements with long stemmed flowers and small branches.

See Hiroaki Wada & Tozan Wada's Daimaru Gallery Exhibition pictorial for works from their 2006 collection.

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