A compact artist-signed (1989) studio pottery bottle vase in wheel-thrown stoneware, fired in a wood or anagama-style kiln. The ovoid body tapers to a narrow neck with a rolled rim, characteristic of sake-bottle or tokkuri forms. Surface color shifts from a warm earth-brown at the neck and upper shoulder to a muted mauve-rose across the lower body, with scattered dark speckling and irregular amber flash marks near the foot—evidence of ash deposit and flame movement during firing. The foot ring shows natural unglazed clay. A strong example of the atmospheric firing tradition, unsigned but clearly the work of a skilled hand builder or thrower working in an East Asian-influenced aesthetic. Condition is good; no chips or cracks visible.
