Flower Vase

This flower vase has a tall, slightly flared foot and bulbous body with a slimmer neck. It is completely undecorated but for the hisoku, or “mysterious color,” glaze. Its box lid has a red seal with a flower on it, a rather unusual feature also seen on the box for the green-glazed water container that belonged to the Hosokawa family (see CMA 2022.197 [http://www.clevelandart.org/art/2022.197]).
