This large vase features a distinctive heavy hakame slip decoration, showcasing layered brushstrokes that add both texture and depth to the surface. The piece was soda fired at an intense temperature of 2300 degrees Fahrenheit, resulting in a rich, variegated glaze with subtle metallic and matte finishes. The high firing temperature enhances the durability and visual complexity of the vase, highlighting the natural interaction between the slip and soda ash atmosphere. This combination creates a unique, tactile quality that emphasizes the craftsmanship and traditional techniques used in its creation.
