The vase uses Shigaraki clay and the wood-firing process.  The deformities and imperfections are intentional, and in Iga style.  It has a lopsided lip edge at the top, with a deep indentation circling the vase just below it.  The texture of this piece is splotchy and ridged, and the colors are earth tones, ranging from tans to dark, forest greens.
