A flower vase from the “Kurokake” series by contemporary ceramic artist Toru Hatta.
“Kurokake” is characterized by its deep, rich black surface, created by layering dark slip and glaze over a clay body that retains its natural texture.
Subtle variations in the glaze and the organic irregularities formed during firing give each piece a distinctive expression, revealing different nuances depending on the light and viewing angle.
The complex textures developed through wood firing reflect the powerful interaction of clay and flame, where strength and delicacy coexist within the surface.
From delicate flowers to wild, expressive branches, the vase's substantial presence enhances the natural colors and forms of plants while embracing their vitality.
Even without flowers, it stands as a sculptural work in its own right, bringing a quiet yet powerful presence to any space—a distinctive quality of Toru Hatta's work.
