About the object: Kikuchi Toru's asymmetrical, oval vase with a large opening is reminiscent of a tall bowl. Although only 13 cm high and with a maximum diameter of 15 cm, this vase is extremely striking in its appearance. The dark Japanese clay in combination with a partially very rough glaze gives the vase an unusual surface. The vase works very well on its own, but can also be placed in a group with other vases or vessels. It is suitable for flowers or branches of all kinds that are appropriate in size. This vase is a unique piece.
Manufacturing process: Toru Kikuchi's pottery style is very special. He first chooses the weight of the clay and then starts making shapes as he comes up with them. The individual pieces in a series may be similar in weight, but are often different in shape and never the same. His pieces are artistic, but also have a practical use as vases or bowls. Toru experiments with different glazes, which often leads to unexpected but beautiful results.
