Vintage Japanese Flower Vase — Sculptural Form with Red and Celadon Glaze, Showa Era (SKU: 25M-449)
Where Tradition Meets Artistic Boldness: A Vase with the Soul of a Painting

Striking and spirited, this vintage Japanese flower vase from the Showa era (circa 1980s) reimagines the vessel as both canvas and sculpture. Angular yet elegant, its unique silhouette is adorned with bold brushwork—floral motifs in flowing aka-e (red overglaze) and cooling celadon blue, edged in milky white. Every line is alive, every petal a dance between tradition and creative freedom.

The fusion of earthy red and mossy green, paired with abstract florals, gives this piece the feeling of a modern byōbu screen—where the essence of nature blooms in stylized brushstrokes. With its distinctive form and saturated glaze, it commands attention as both a flower holder and a sculptural statement.
