Rope-Inlay Flattened Vase
Shimaoka Kei (b. 1978)
This vase combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design, featuring a smooth white glaze base and a striking indigo-coloured surface. The intricate rope-inlay patterns create texture and contrast, while the flattened shape adds a contemporary edge. This striking design, coupled with Shimaoka’s exceptional craftsmanship, creates a harmonious balance between abstraction and elegance.
