Description

Vintage Japanese Vase, Showa Era (SKU 25D-319-3)

Graceful Showa-era porcelain bud vase with hand-painted blue-and-white grape motif

This elegant vintage Japanese vase is formed in a classic tokkuri-inspired silhouette, with a slender neck rising from a rounded pear-shaped body. The soft, cool white glaze provides a tranquil backdrop for delicate hand-painted underglaze blue decoration, evoking clusters of grapes and trailing vines that gently wrap around the surface.

Subtle brushwork and generous negative space reflect a refined Showa-era sensibility, making this piece ideal for a single seasonal stem in the spirit of ikebana or as a standalone display on a tokonoma shelf. A discreet metal foot ring finishes the base, adding stability while highlighting the clean, modern lines of mid-20th-century Japanese design.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
