About the object: Tomoko Iwata's brick-shaped vase has a height of approx. 12.5 cm and a width of 7 cm. It is made of dark clay and covered with white glaze on the front. This vase is part of Tomoko's single flower vase series "Kusana Utsuwa". The vase is waterproof and therefore suitable for both fresh and dried single flowers. Or small branches. Symmetrical, not always straight, but beautiful.
Manufacturing process: Tomoko Iwata's single flower vase series "Kusano Utsuwa" is made using the Tatara process. Tatara is a method of shaping clay slabs by bending or joining them together on a board or flat surface. Tomoko uses tatara-zukuri to make her square, rectangular or trapezoidal vases from flat slabs of clay. This vase is partially glazed white.

- The vase should be washed by hand. Use clear water or at most gentle cleaning agents and no abrasive sponges.
- Dry the vessel carefully after cleaning to avoid water stains.
- Ceramic pots can be rougher on the underside than pots made of other materials. We therefore recommend protecting sensitive surfaces on which the jar is to be placed from scratching if necessary.
