The piece reworks the classic bottle form through a subtly triangular body that rises into a narrow neck, giving it a sharper, more contemporary profile. Finished in a deep cinnabar red glaze with soft tonal variation, it balances geometric clarity with the warmth and irregularity of studio pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVase: H 29.5 cm, W 13.5 cm, Dia. opening 3 cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Shigaraki stoneware\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: Atsushi Yuba\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Cinnabar red with ochre undertones\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1980s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Japan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very good vintage condition; a few small glaze imperfections and light age-related wear, unobtrusive in display.

Public biographical information appears limited, but signed works attributed to him point to mid-20th-century studio production in Shigaraki, with an emphasis on strong vessel forms and rich glaze surfaces.
