Know before you buy
No, this vase is not waterproof. It is designed primarily as a decorative art piece and should not be used to hold water or fresh flowers.
Because this piece is hand-glazed and not dishwasher safe, you should clean it by gently wiping the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges to preserve the integrity of the traditional Kutani colors.
The vase measures 21 centimeters in height and 20 centimeters in width, making it a substantial size for a tabletop centerpiece.
As a handmade Kutaniyaki product, each vase features unique brushstrokes and glaze variations. While the design follows the traditional crane and landscape motif, slight differences in the application of the five colors are expected and reflect the artisan's touch.
This vase is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or fluctuating outdoor temperatures may damage the delicate hand-glazed finish.
