Tomoro Shinogi Vase

Description:
The Shinogi vase combines several design signatures of Tomoro Pottery. "Shinogi" refers to the ridged pattern covering the vase, a technique that Morisaki often uses in her designs. Like all Tomoro Pottery, this vase evokes forms found in nature. Its round, irregular form is similar to a sea urchin or seed pod. The outside of the piece is unglazed, emphasizing the sculptural form and natural beauty of Morisaki's clay.

Variation:
This vase is a handmade item - each vase is unique. Although they are close in appearance to the vases shown in these photos, there are variations in color and size. The vase you receive may not be identical to the vases displayed in these photos. 

History:

Tomoko studied ceramics and product design at Tokyo Gakugei University in Japan, and her pottery is lovingly hand-crafted on the wheel with the utmost care.
