Minimalist Japanese Studio Art Pottery Vase by Nozomi Fujii

Minimalist Textured Grey, flared "Vase 028" by Nozumi Fujii, Japanese Ceramicist who combines traditional Japanese ceramic techniques with contemporary design in her pieces, using symmetry as a limiting condition in the design of her pieces. In addition, she does not use glazes but prefers to bring out the natural colors and textures of the clay to highlight the primitive feel of the past in a modern setting. The unusual profile and rough texture of this vase is a classic example of her work. (see Notes on Nozomi Fujii below.) This special order item measures 8.5" in diameter across the top lip, 1.8" across the base , 7.25" high and weighs a hefty 2 lbs, 13 oz. The artist only makes items to order: 20-22 weeks lead time and shipping from Japan. (This item was crafted for a collector from whose estate it was sourced.) In very good condition, only used for display. A striking and handsome vase for a simple arrangement or as a sculptural display piece that brings calming energy to a space
