Description
This striking iron-glazed vase by Wada Tōzan was fired at Ōizumi-gama - the Wada family's wood-burning noborigama climbing kiln. At 1,250°C (2,300°F) degrees, it was blasted with wave after wave of intense heat and ash, then plucked from the kiln while molten-hot. The high iron content (tetsu-yū) in the glaze quickly oxidizes, forming a pebbled, obsidian landscape permanently marked by the dynamics inside Ōizumi-gama.
A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist. Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
