Description

On offer is a beautiful tri-handled Awaji vase. made on the island of Awaji Japan. Awaji produced pottery from around 1830 till 1939. This one depicts colourful autumn leaves. This vase carries the made in Japan stamp.

A beautifully atmospheric Awaji Pottery vase from the interwar period, distinguished by its trio of twisted handles and a hand‑painted autumn leaves motif. This combination of sculptural form and seasonal decoration is characteristic of Awaji’s more expressive work between 1922 and 1939, when the kilns were producing some of their most imaginative designs.

The twisted handles give the vase a dynamic, almost architectural presence, while the autumn leaves pattern adds warmth and movement. Awaji decorators often used rich glazes and painterly brushwork to evoke natural themes, and the interplay of falling leaves against the vessel’s glaze creates a gentle, nostalgic feel — a nod to the kiln’s affinity for nature‑inspired imagery.

A fine example of late‑Taishō to early‑Shōwa Awaji ware, combining sculptural flair with evocative seasonal decoration. A standout piece for collectors of Japanese art pottery or anyone seeking a decorative vase with both character and craftsmanship.
