This vase features a touch of yellow around the delicate opening and rhythmic pleating underneath a rustic blue-yellow surface. Acclaimed Japanese potter Akio Nukaga crafts one-of-a-kind works of art for use in daily life. Modernist, with distinctly Japanese roots, the assured shapes and expressive surfaces are grounded with an earthy texture. Each one of Akio Nukaga’s signature pleated designs are thrown and carved by hand at his countryside studio in Kasama, Japan.
