Elegant, large henko vase in an ash glaze by Terunobu Hirata.

In Japanese, henko means "seeing things in a different light", and this definitely describes the subtle and sensuous way light changes when it falls across this elegant vessel.

Tall, with a narrow base curving up to an almond shaped opening, it features a single, vertical detail on both sides, and is finished in an understated, flecked ash glaze with a smooth finish.

Terunobu Hirata arrived in Australia from Osaka, Japan in 1973.

Originally trained as a chef, he moved to pottery 25 years ago, working in stoneware and porcelain.

His designs are bold and contemporary with lustrous glazes. A nod to the past with organic style glazing partnered with perfectly proportioned shapes, Hirata’s work is a joy to live with.
