A stoneware vase by celebrated ceramic artist Toshiko Takaezu, featuring her signature organic form and expressive earth-toned glaze. Signed on the underside. The vessel is finished in layered ivory, cream, and rich brown glazes that cascade naturally across the surface, highlighting the subtle contours of the hand-formed body. Characterized by Takaezu's restrained aesthetic and deep appreciation for the traditions of Japanese pottery, the work balances simplicity with remarkable depth and texture. This vase exemplifies the artist's influential contribution to the American Studio Craft movement and modern ceramic art.

From a private collection. Dimensions: 8"h x 7.25"w x 7.25"d. In very good condition.
