Vintage 1995 Japanese Studio Pottery Pitcher - Nishi-Gojō Kama Kiln, Handcrafted Blue Ombre Stoneware Jug

This vintage 1995 Japanese studio art pottery pitcher is crafted from an iron-rich stoneware body. Subtle, natural ash speckling creates a beautifully textured, tactile finish.The underside features the hand-carved kanji mark 「五城」 (Gojō), authenticating it as a genuine piece from the renowned Nishi-Gojō Kama (Nishi-Gojō Kiln). Located on the historic island of Ōmishima in Imabari, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, this coastal artisan workshop is highly regarded for its craft. Beneath the signature, a specific catalog inscription dates the piece to January 1995 ('95-10).
