Mustard Totem

Mustard Totem

Ceramic, mustard–ochre glaze with glossy pooling, elongated nageire form, softly elliptical mouth, vertically incised totemic motif across the fascia, raised relief pattern with rhythmic, glyph-like repetition, stamped to the base, heavy gloopy glaze with natural runs and accumulation, retro studio pottery character.

Produced by a Japanese kiln that ceased vase production last century, with forms ranging from brutalist and avant-garde to outright strange.

Designed for direct stem placement—no kenzan required. A sculptural vessel with strong vertical presence and tactile surface variation.

Vintage pieces will show signs of age and prior use, including surface wear, light staining, and firing irregularities. Please review all images carefully, as they form part of the description.
