UCTCI King Ceramic Jar – Japan, 1970s Studio Pottery
Charming figural ceramic jar from Japan, made by UCTCI (also known as Gempo) around the 1970s. This quirky bearded king with a crown serves as the lid of the jar. The glazed surface in natural green and beige tones is typical for Japanese studio pottery from the midcentury era.
A rare collectible and decorative piece – perfect as a sugar jar, marmalade pot, spice container, or simply a unique figural object on a shelf. It also works wonderfully as a little office jar for paperclips or coins. Ideal for fans of retro ceramics, Japanese design, figural pottery, and midcentury collectibles. A fun gift for design lovers, collectors or anyone who enjoys whimsical home décor.
