Vintage Japanese Glazed Roof Tile – Architectural Ceramic – Kawara Style
$ 76.56
Description
A sculptural vintage Japanese glazed roof tile, crafted in ceramic and bearing the marks of time with a rich, earthy patina. This architectural fragment likely originates from a traditional kawara roof — the ceramic tile system used in temples, shrines, and historic homes across Japan. Standing upright, the tile’s form evokes both utility and artistry: a vertical ridge or end tile repurposed as a decorative object. The glaze features mottled tones of brown, green, and ochre, with subtle crackling and wear that speak to its age and exposure. Whether displayed as a standalone sculpture, garden accent, or altar piece, this tile carries the spirit of wabi-sabi — the Japanese aesthetic of impermanence and quiet beauty. Material: Glazed ceramic Dimensions: 12¾" tall × 4¼" wide × 3¾" deep Weight: 3 lbs 6 oz Style: Japanese Antique, Wabi-Sabi, Architectural Salvage Era: Mid-20th century (estimated) Origin: Japan
