Ceramic Japan - Crinkle vase medium

Exceptional porcelain design for Japan lovers

The flower vase, Crinkle Super Bag, released in 1975, was selected by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for their permanent collection in 1982. A piece representing Mr. Makoto Komatsu, who's one of the leading craft designers in Japan.

This vase, which looks like a paper bag made into a ceramic piece, has an elaborate appearance due to the careful casting and finishing by the craftsmen. The shadows of wrinkles created by natural light and lighting, as well as the shadows of plants reflected on the wall, subtly add color to the space.
