Description

This flattened hexagonal flower vase showcases the brilliant coloration that can be achieved through wood firing: scorching produced the flash of orange on the surface. Although this piece is a traditional form for holding flowers, Kohyama has also produced more sculptural works that are intended for the same purpose.
