Ceramic Japan Super Bag #3
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 #3 size is ideally proportioned for versatile floral styling. Larger than the #4, it accommodates everything from a single striking stem to a charming small bouquet, making it a perfect decorative focal point for entryways, dining tables, or living room shelves.
