Kyo Ware Kawai Unosuke Black Glaze Handled Vase Flower Holder

This is a very rare black-glazed handled vase by Unosuke Kawai, a renowned Kyoto ware potter and master craftsman. The jet-black glaze has a beautiful, captivating luster, and the elegant, sophisticated handled form gives this exquisite piece a deep, refined taste that is both traditional and modern. The accompanying wooden box has “黒釉手付花瓶” (black-glazed handled vase) written in ink, and on the back, “卯之助作” (made by Unosuke) and his seal remain clearly visible, indicating its high prestige. This vase is not only suitable as a flower vase for a tokonoma or as an authentic tea ceremony utensil, but it also possesses an overwhelming presence characteristic of historical fine art and antiques, harmonizing beautifully with modern Japanese-style interiors and Western rooms. Its height is approximately 9.84 inches, width is approximately 7.48 inches, and depth is approximately 7.09 inches. The weight is 2020g.
