Salt Glaze Small Vase [A]
Pickup currently unavailable
This charming small ceramic vase is handcrafted by Ryuta Goto in Mashiko using locally sourced clay. The salt glaze is achieved by throwing salt into the kiln during firing, creating a glassy, textured surface that varies in texture and appearance. Often, the glaze features a distinctive "orange peel" effect with slight pitting or dimpling. The appearance can differ between the front and back of the piece, offering unique expressions and a distinctive finish on each side.
Whether placed on a shelf, mantel, or tabletop, this small handmade vase brings the timeless beauty of Mashiko craftsmanship into your living space. Its simplicity and artisanal quality make it a unique and thoughtful gift or a delightful addition to your own collection.
It's one-of-a-kind.

ABOUT THE MAKER
Ryuta Goto is a potter from Mashiko. After completing the advanced course at the Pottery Training Institute, he apprenticed for five years under the late Tatsuzo Shimaoka, learning the intricate skills and deep philosophy of traditional mingei pottery. Shimaoka, a renowned Japanese mingei potter, was the second Living National Treasure of Mashiko, following Shoji Hamada. After working at Shimaoka Pottery for a year, Goto became independent and continues to create pottery in Mashiko today.
Ryuta Goto's work embodies the traditional mingei style, utilizing locally sourced clay and traditional glazes. His pottery is characterized by its simplicity, honesty, and sincerity—qualities that also define Goto's own personal character. His pieces are a reflection of his deep respect for the traditions of Mashiko ware, offering both beauty and functionality. We are excited to share his exquisite creations with you and celebrate the timeless artistry of Mashiko pottery.
