The combination of these two glazes creates a stunning gradient, transitioning from rich, deep purples dripping down the thin neck into vibrant blues that envelop the robust body. The hare’s fur glaze, cascading over the body of the vase in thin tendrils, complements and emphasises the swelling of its center.
The overall form evokes the shape of a teardrop, with the slender neck giving the impression that the vase is a liquid gracefully dropping into place. These design choices result in a sense of weightlessness, highlighting the elegance and balance emblematic of Hideaki Miyamura’s work.
