Ceramic Vase 4
This large, organically shaped ceramic vase was handmade by Award-Winning Japanese Pottery Artist Takeshi Maruyama. The dark, matte finish was achieved using the intricate Japanese 'Kokuto' technique, whereby select coconut leaves are burned inside the kiln among the works to create black smoke, rich in carbon, which soaks into the texture of the clay.
