Elegant Tall White Architectural Vase with Tiny Gray Flowers Chinese locks and what looks a lot

and what looks a lot like a baguette in the hand of the rider

but it definitely has a mid-century brutalist feel

All make it feel both specific and archetypal

line weight and density

is made from a mixture of the juice of the Thitsi tree and ash

Elegant Tall White Architectural Vase with Tiny Gray Flowers Chinese locks and what looks a lotJust a beauty of a vase, I'd fill this one with a flowering branch or two and it would make the room. Unsigned unmarked, it appears to have been thrown, then trimmed, so that the form is angular and the surfaces smooth. The lines running vertically articulate the vase's structure but are wonderfully irregular, and the tiny flowers here and there are just the perfect punctuation. I can't imagine this piece isn't Japanese, but I am not 100% certain.
