Hechimon Kirara tall Shigaraki vase

This 25.5 cm vase by Marui Seitō is finished in shiro-geshō white slip over a coarse Shigaraki clay body. Brown and pale flecks remain visible through the Kirara surface, giving the tall asymmetrical form a granular rather than uniform white finish.

One side of the mouth breaks into an irregular yabure-guchi edge. Below it, a narrow band of kakitsuke drag-line incisions carries selective gold pigment down the body.
