Vase with Three Circular Patterns
Shimaoka Kei (b. 1978)
This vase features Shimaoka Kei’s signature rope-inlay technique, adding intricate texture to its surface. The design is accentuated by three striking round or circular patterns, creating a sense of symmetry and visual interest. The divided glaze, with contrasting sections of earthy tones and natural hues, exemplifies the artist's mastery in balancing proportion and harmony. This piece is a beautiful example of traditional craftsmanship with a modern sensibility.
