At first glance, it appears to be a perfect cube, yet almost every detail pushes against that expectation. The rough, textured clay glazed exterior contrasts with the smooth gloss glazed interior, which reveals itself only at the opening. The square form is interrupted by a small circular opening at one corner of the cube instead of the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese subtle details completely change the way the vase is experienced - more as a sculpture than vase. The asymmetrical opening naturally encourages floral arrangements to weigh on one side, creating a composition that feels playful against the geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCube Clay Glazed Vase was curated by Angélique Chmielewski\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eMasanobu Ando\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/b\u003eMasanobu Ando\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.9\" (w) x 3.9\" (l) x 4.0\" (h) or 98 mm (w) x 98 mm (l) x 102 mm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.4 lb or 0.7 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-of-a-kind functional sculpture vase handmade by Masanobu Ando in Tajimi, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures Masanobu Ando's signature stamp on the bottom of the vase\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClay glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt from slabs of clay with Japanese \"tatara\" technique\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowers and water can be contained through a small, offset opening \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextured exterior features intentional scratches and tool marks\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGloss-glazed interior revealed at the opening creates a subtle contrast with the textured exterior\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only with mild soap and soft sponge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry with soft cloth after washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Masanobu Ando","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325780918518,"sku":"M-F-TX537","price":625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/Masanobu_Ando_CubeClayGlazedVase_Featured.jpg?v=1784770248","url":"https:\/\/shop.nalatanalata.com\/products\/cube-clay-glazed-vase","provider":"Nalata Nalata","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
