Ceramic Japan Super Bag #2

An iconic porcelain vase designed by Makoto Komatsu, faithfully capturing the delicate creases, folds, and subtle shadows of a classic paper grocery bag in white ceramic.

First introduced in 1979 as part of the celebrated "Crinkle" series, the Super Bag embodies the witty interplay between everyday ephemera and fine craftsmanship. Aligning with the superrealism movement in contemporary design, its sculptural form achieved international acclaim and was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Crafted from matte unglazed porcelain (bisque), the #2 size offers generous volume and height. Designed to accommodate larger floral displays, it gracefully holds voluminous bouquets, long-stemmed flowers, and substantial seasonal branches, serving as an eye-catching centerpiece for living areas, dining tables, or boutique entrance displays.

• Museum Collection Heritage: Selected for the MoMA permanent collection, making it a recognized piece of modern Japanese design history.
  
  
• Bisque Porcelain Finish: Features a tactile matte bisque exterior replicating the natural surface texture of paper.
  
  
• Natural Material Traits: Minor iron speckles (pinpoints), faint color marks, or metal cutlery marks may occur on the unglazed surface, which are natural characteristics of bisque porcelain.
  
  
• Cleaning: Hand wash gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may mark the matte surface.
