Sake bottle or vase by Hiroto Ono

This handcrafted ceramic vessel by Hiroto Ono embodies the subdued beauty and subtle tension characteristic of contemporary Japanese wood-fired pottery. The form is gently asymmetrical, almost stone-like, with a softly swollen body that narrows into a modest, well-proportioned neck and lip. Overall, it’s a quiet but powerful object—minimal, earthy, and contemplative—perfect as a sake tokkuri or as a standalone sculptural vessel.
