Handmade by Kenta Sato in Kasama, Japan
 
The earthy, layered surface, created through a time-intensive glazing process, highlights the artist's mastery of the wabi-sabi aesthetic. Its modest yet striking form makes it an ideal vessel for understated floral arrangements or as a refined decorative object.

The secluded, peaceful surroundings of where they live and work are incorporated into the very soul of Sato's work. Both Kazumi and Kenta use similar materials that give their work an earthy, almost stone-like texture. The glazing techniques that they use require ten or more layers of mud glazing; a very time-consuming process.
