Vintage Japanese Flower Vase — Natural Ash Glaze Beauty, Showa Era (SKU: 25M-420-2)
Where Earth Meets Flame: A Vessel Born of Nature and Fire

This vintage Japanese flower vase is a quiet triumph of wabi-sabi beauty—crafted in the Showa era (circa 1980s) and cloaked in a soft cascade of ash glaze (灰釉, haiyu) that mimics the flow of water over stone. Its rounded shoulders and grounding presence evoke the timeless landscapes of Japan, where mountains, forests, and rivers shape not only the earth, but also the soul.

Each streak of glaze, unpredictable and spontaneous, tells a story of heat and time—formed in the kiln through the alchemy of fire and minerals. Whether cradling a simple ikebana arrangement or standing alone in a quiet alcove, this piece exudes harmony and rustic elegance.
