Know before you buy
Given the narrow 2.2 cm opening, this vase is best suited for 'ikebana' style arrangements, single stems, or small, delicate bouquets. It is designed to highlight the beauty of a few carefully selected flowers rather than large, voluminous bunches.
While Kutani porcelain is durable, it should be handled with care to avoid chipping the delicate rim. We recommend hand-washing the vase with mild soap and a soft cloth; avoid using abrasive scrubbers or placing it in the dishwasher to preserve the vibrant, hand-painted colors.
Yes, the vase is fully functional and glazed to hold water for fresh flowers. However, because it is a handmade ceramic piece, we recommend placing it on a coaster or protective surface if you are concerned about potential condensation or minor seepage over long periods.
Authentic Kutani ware is defined by its rich history and the specific use of a vibrant five-color palette—typically green, yellow, red, purple, and blue. This piece features these traditional pigments applied with meticulous detail, reflecting the classic craftsmanship associated with the Ishikawa region of Japan.
The vase is designed with a stable base and does not require an additional stand. Its proportions are balanced, making it perfectly safe to display on a shelf, mantle, or side table as a standalone decorative object.
