Large ceramic ikebana vase executed in the Raku technique, characterized by its dynamic palette of red, black, and bluish-green hues, accentuated by a green iridescent rim. The body displays an incised, undulating pattern encircling the form and impressed dots near the shoulder. The glaze bears the distinctive hallmarks of Raku firing, including pronounced crackle, surface soot, and irregular atmospheric effects resulting from rapid cooling and spontaneous oxidation-reduction processes. The tactile, expressive surface exemplifies the aesthetic of imperfection and spontaneity central to Raku philosophy.
