Yayoi earthenware refers to the soft-fired pottery that was used during the Yayoi period. It is generally known for its simple shapes and decorations compared to Jomon pottery, and it is praised for being bright and hard due to high-temperature firing. These pottery pieces have a non-flat bottom and were likely fixed by digging them into the ground at that time. To make them stand independently, they are now secured with a brass pedestal. Enjoy the timeless beauty of the pottery's natural texture and use it as a flower vase.
