Know before you buy
Shinogi is a traditional Japanese pottery technique where the artist carves vertical grooves into the clay surface after it has been thrown on the wheel. This creates the signature textured, faceted look that gives the vase its depth and tactile quality.
Yes, the vase is fully functional and designed for daily use. It is crafted from ceramic and is watertight, making it perfectly safe for fresh floral arrangements.
You can clean the vase by gently hand-washing it with mild soap and warm water. Because of the textured shinogi pattern, we recommend using a soft brush if any dust or debris settles in the grooves.
Because each piece is individually hand-thrown by Tomoko Morisaki, there will be slight variations in the shape and the exact placement of the carved patterns. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the handcrafted process and ensure your vase is truly one-of-a-kind.
Yes, the cylindrical shape and solid ceramic construction provide a stable base for tabletop placement. At 5 1/2 inches tall and 4 inches wide, it is well-proportioned for side tables, bookshelves, or mantels.
