This captivating vintage circa 1970 Japanese modernist studio pottery vase showcases a striking sculptural hourglass form rooted in mid century ceramic design and traditional Japanese craft aesthetics. Hand-thrown with exceptional balance and weight, the vessel features a dramatic pinched waist separating two conical chambers, beautifully highlighted by hand-incised horizontal concentric rings and organic abstract glaze work. The exterior surface is enveloped in a rich, glossy olive green and warm mustard-tan glaze, masterfully accented with rustic rust-red splashes, iron-brown brushwork, and expressive glaze drips that celebrate its handmade studio origins. Combining clean geometric architectural lines with a grounded, earth-toned wabi-sabi character, this ceramic vessel serves as a sophisticated statement piece for a bookshelf, mantel, desk, or curated studio pottery collection, bringing timeless artisan flair to any modern, Japandi, or mid-century interior.
