Vintage Japanese Shiragaki Ikebana Vase - 1980s Showa Era (25D-451-1)

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

Showa-era stoneware flower vase with rustic vine handle and dramatic ash-glazed surface

This vintage Japanese vase evokes the spirit of late-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. This ikebana vase is ideal as a statement unbrella stand or sculptural object, this Showa-era vase bridges rustic farmhouse charm and refined studio pottery.
