Evoking a traditional tea jar in its shape, this work, along with YU009, most conspicuously expresses Ueda’s interest in the forms of traditional ceramic vessels. Yet, Ueda’s own aesthetic sense that embraces imperfection and unexpectedness is still manifest in its uneven, cracked surface. Here, the glaze underneath the exterior pours down from the cracks, resulting in the work’s distinct green stripes.
