A sculptural loop handle arcs up from the teardrop body, which is wrapped in combed (kushime) lines under a soft cream \"shironeri\" glaze that deepens to warm amber along the ridges. \"Hechimon\" is old Shigaraki dialect for \"something out of the ordinary,\" and the Kairō (\"corridor\") series draws its flowing, organic forms from the quiet movement of living plants — so every piece is its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Shigaraki stoneware flower vase (tall, loop-handle form)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: W 10.5 × D 10.5 × H 23 cm (4.1 × 4.1 × 9.1 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlazed stoneware, hand-built — each one individual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGood for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single dramatic stem, a seasonal branch, or trailing greenery — or left empty as a sculptural objet on a shelf, console, entryway, or tea corner.
