This listing is for an Agano-ware vase made around 20 years ago.  It is wheel-thrown and features light coloured glaze with ryokusho glaze around the neck of the vase.  The ryokusho glaze has a speckled appearance which adds warmth to the piece.  The opening is just wide enough for a few thin stemmed flowers, and this piece is appropriate for any of the four seasons. 

Agano-ware refers to pottery produced in Fukuoka Prefecture, with its origins going back some 400 years. This type of ware is characterized by its thin walls and beautiful coloured glazes. There are around 15 different types of glazes, although Agano-ware is probably best known for its green-blue Ryokusho glaze. Kilns in and around the Tagawa district in Fukuoka also produce beautiful iron and white warajiro straw glazes. Agano pottery is a favourite amongst tea enthusiasts and was favoured by tea master Kabori Enshu.
