Masaaki Iwasa

A wide, folded vessel in Iwasa's toutai shitsuki (ceramic lacquerware) technique, its exterior surface warm and burnished, catching light differently from every angle. Where the metal leaf has pooled and pulled away during firing, a landscape of fine cracks, scattered marks, and dark voids opens across the surface, each one unrepeatable. A piece that reads as both ancient and immediate, equally at home as a statement object on a shelf or holding a single stem.

Dimensions: 5.5" L × 5.5" W × 10.0" H (140 × 140 × 255 mm)
