Wide, sculptural vessel in oribe style by Tetsuya Kowari from December 2025.

Featuring a rounded, central bowl, dramatically bifurcated by a wide, organic plane that's adorned with intersecting cylinders, this work is exemplary of Kowari’s signature gestural mark-making and oribe glazing.

It works as both a unique and striking sculptural piece, but can also function as a vase or vessel.

Tetsuya Kowari produces extraordinary vessels that seem almost too sculptural to use but are in fact are all highly functional. These are pieces designed for daily use, or simply for daily contemplation of their incredible aesthetic.

Kowari creates his pieces in a wood fired anagama kiln in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, and the DEA Store is the official stockist of Tetsuya Kowari work in Australia.
