Vintage Japanese Shiragaki Umbrella Stand (SKU 25D-451-1)

Showa-era stoneware umbrella stand with rustic vine handle and dramatic ash-glazed surface

This vintage Japanese vase evokes the spirit of mid-Showa mingei craft, its tall cylindrical body wrapped in a sweeping, kiln-born pattern of feldspathic ash glaze. Earthy browns, charcoal greys and soft celadon tones cascade across the surface, creating a landscape-like effect that rewards close viewing and pairs beautifully with natural materials and wabi-sabi interiors.

The softly undulating rim and hand-cut vertical facets give the piece a quiet rhythm, while the original woven vine handle, threaded through pierced lugs, adds warmth and tactility. Ideal as an unbrella stand, a statement ikebana container or sculptural object, this Showa-era vase bridges rustic farmhouse charm and refined studio pottery.

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.
