Akatsu ware is characterized by its seven glazes and 12 decorative techniques, and the seven glazes used are ash glaze, iron glaze, Furuseto, Kiseto, Oribe, Shino, and Mifukai. The deep colors seen in this vase are the result of a glaze that contains a lot of iron, and the natural flow and spots created by the movement of the flame during firing give it a different look depending on the viewing angle. The traces of the potter's wheel remain quietly, giving you a sense of the warmth of handiwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a product that stands out as a vase for arranging seasonal branches and flowers.
