Shuhari Collection Vase – Distant Range

A tall neck rises to a small flared lip, the fire settling low across the belly in orange and charcoal beneath a thin, distant line of blue.

Thrown in Japanese porcelain by Nishihara Akira in Arita, Japan, then saggar-fired by John Mac in France using the same combustibles as the Echoes of Fire series — wood chips, copper wire, dried flowers, pine cones, and metal oxides. The exterior is completely unglazed; all surface decoration comes from the fire itself.

Part of the Shuhari Collection — a collaboration between two makers, two traditions, and one act of surrender to the fire.
