Shuhari Collection Vase – Sunset Dune

A wide-shouldered form settles into stillness — a single soft band of maroon dunes crossing the lower body, the rest left open and pale, like sand after the tide has gone out.

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.
