Yellow Mado - Tri-Display

Yellow Mado

A highly coveted ikebana vase designed by Sofu Teshigahara for the Sogetsu School. Severe and uncompromising in modernist form, the elongated architectural vessel offers three distinct display orientations: horizontally with its twin apertures facing upwards, rotated vertically onto either end, or suspended from a wall using the hanging aperture incorporated into one leg. Finished in a saturated mustard-yellow glaze, the form is particularly sought after by Sogetsu ikebana practitioners and collectors of Japanese modernist design. This example bears one of the characters from Sofu’s given name on the base.

Vintage pieces may show signs of age and prior use, including surface wear, glaze variation, firing irregularities, kiln marks, minor staining and other characteristics acquired over time. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
