Know before you buy
In Japanese culture, the crane is a symbol of longevity, while the sakura, or cherry blossom, represents the fleeting beauty of life and prosperity. Together, these motifs are traditional auspicious symbols often found in high-quality Kutani ware.
The square top provides a structured silhouette that helps keep stems in place, making it easier to create balanced, architectural arrangements compared to a traditional round-neck vase.
While it is crafted from high-quality glazed ceramic and can hold water for fresh flowers, its intricate artistry and symbolic design make it equally suitable as a standalone sculptural piece for your tabletop.
The glaze is durable, but to maintain its shimmer, we recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could dull the finish.
Yes, the wooden box is designed specifically to protect the ceramic from dust and potential impact. It is an ideal way to store the piece safely when it is not on display.
