Japanese Studio Pottery Mini Vase - Signed Blue/White Glaze

A signed Japanese studio pottery miniature vase in blue and white glaze, the surface characterised by the subtle variations in tone and pooling that mark hand-applied glaze over a hand-thrown form. The piece bears the maker's signature, indicating the work of an individual studio potter, and the quality of both throwing and glazing is evident. Miniature signed studio pottery pieces are among the most intimate expressions of the Japanese ceramic tradition.
