The Fascinating Force of Gravity

Original vessels created by ceramic artist Morishita Shingo. The lid was created by woodworker Yasushi Shimizu to fit the container. With this combination, a new "lidded container" was created. What we are introducing this time is a rare piece that combines a large sake cup with a lid, giving it a unique atmosphere. The body has a glossy black spout. The cherry blossom lid is brought together to match the gently wavy top edge. And the walnut knobs give a sense of movement. It is a work that has the power to captivate and captivate those who see it. When using it as a vase, place the lid to the side so that it becomes part of the scenery. As an object, as a vase... So, what would you put here? How do you use it? ■Material: Container/Ceramics Lid: Cherry, walnut ■Size: Width approx. 320mm, depth approx. 225mm, height approx. 245mm *The lid has a ceramic finish. It is resistant to moisture, but if left unattended it may stain, so if moisture gets on it, wipe it off as soon as possible. Also, do not use a dish dryer, dry it in direct sunlight, or use a microwave, as these may cause cracks or warping. Also, the lid is not airtight, so it is not suitable as a storage container for items that dislike moisture.
