Please read the whole description!

On offer is a contemporary period Japanese Bizen ware vase. It is approximately 18.5 cm long, 17 cm wide and 23 cm tall. Please note that due to its ovoid shape, measuring it is a bit odd, so there might be some slight error. It is of ovoid shape, with two small handles (not of any practical use as you cannot hold the handles and lift the vase). Bizen ware is a type of stoneware(not porcelain), and it is quite popular with collectors. some of the pieces from famous artisans (like Jun Isezaki) sell for very respectable prices! This vase comes as a full set. This means with a signed box, a signed protective cloth and a flyer with the Kiln's products/profile. This is the Kiln's (cannot find its exact details, but have seen its Kamajirushi a few times) signature/Kamarijushi. And this is how such a product is most often (but not always) sold in Japan. Recently source from Japan. A very nice item for display or a great idea for a gift! 

Condition Report: This vase is in excellent/pristine condition with no blemishes. It appears that it has been stored in its box, or maybe a brand new production (although I don't think so).  Please note the imperfections you see are part of what the Japanese call "Wabi Sabi"; an intentional imperfect finish. These are not firing faults or blemishes. You can expect some lines (vertical and horizontal) and some glaze retractions. This is all intentional. Priced for a quick sale. Such a full set in the UK would sell well over £100 at an antique shop. 

Should you need any additional info, please do not hesitate to ask me any questions. I would be very happy to assist you. Please study the photos provided as they form part of the description. Should you need more photos I would be very happy to provide you with them. What you see is what you get!
