Large, wide, angular vase in oribe style by Tetsuya Kowari from March 2026.

Featuring two, extended, triangular planes, intersecting over a curved base and mounted on three small feet, this dramatic piece is exemplary of Kowari’s signature gestural mark-making and oribe glazing.

The tip of one end has been lovingly repaired with kintsugi, and the intervention in gold blends superbly with the organic green and yellow hues of the oribe finish.
