Medium-sized, sculptural cylinder vase in oribe style by Tetsuya Kowari from March 2026.

With a narrow cylinder mounted on a base of three, coloured, geometric shapes, this charming work is an example of Kowari’s ability to embrace both contemporary forms and traditional making.

It functions both as a sculptural piece as well as a vase.

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.
